This print is titled as a portrait of the horse of Ulysses S. Grant, though the record does not name the animal or date the photograph. The caption card's tracings, including "Pres. I." (likely a reference to Grant's presidency, 1869 to 1877), suggest it was catalogued with the presidential material. Grant was an avid horseman, and his Civil War mount Cincinnati is the best-known of the animals associated with him. The picture is a reminder of how closely the public tied a commander's and a president's image to the horses they rode.
