A humorous drawing rather than a photograph, this print ran in the November 14, 1912, issue of *Life* magazine on page 2198. Its subject headings point to horse shows and hunting, with a Great Britain link, though the record notes that these tags come from old, unverified caption data. In 1912 the horse show was a fashionable pastime for wealthy Americans, and the National Horse Show in New York drew society crowds each year. *Life*'s cartoonists often poked fun at such rituals, so the drawing likely satirizes the crowd and its pretensions.
