The title places this glass negative at Monmouth, most likely the racetrack at Oceanport, New Jersey, though the caption data is unverified and the word "Horse Shoe" could refer to a feature of the track or to a horseshoe itself. George Grantham Bain founded his New York news photography service around 1899, and its pictures of sporting events, crowds, and public figures were sent to newspapers across the country. Bain's glass plates from the early 1900s give a useful record of how racing and its surroundings looked before news photography moved to film and later digital.
