A summer scene of working animals, the title "Hot day--watering horses" points to a moment of relief from the heat, with horses drinking or being cooled at a trough. The record gives no date, and the title comes from caption cards or negatives that the Library of Congress has not verified. Still, the glass negative belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, made by the Bain News Service, a New York agency that sold news pictures to newspapers in the early twentieth century. Horses were still common on city streets and farms then, so scenes like this show how urban and rural life depended on animal labor before automobiles became widespread.
