Foxhall Keene is shown mounted on a horse, a detail that sets this glass negative apart from the other sporting portraits on this board. Keene was one of the best-known American sportsmen of his day, active in polo, steeplechasing and racing, and a familiar figure at Long Island and Newport horse events. The record dates the negative to April 27, 1909, and notes that the title comes from the Bain News Service's own caption cards, which have not been independently verified, so the identification reflects the agency's attribution.
