The picture records a horse race at Lake George, the resort lake in upstate New York that drew wealthy summer visitors in the early 1900s. Its record comes from the George Grantham Bain Collection, the Bain News Service archive of news photographs that the Library of Congress now holds. The title is taken from caption information the agency wrote on the glass negative or its card, and that information has not been independently verified, so the exact race and date remain uncertain. Bain's staff sold pictures of sporting events and society life to newspapers, which makes this a useful window onto the racing and leisure culture of the period.
