The title points to a horse show with a floral theme, a decorative touch that fits the fashionable social calendar of the early twentieth century. The picture belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, a body of glass negatives made by the Bain News Service, a New York picture agency that supplied news photographs to newspapers. The record gives no date, and the title comes from caption information that has not been independently verified, so the exact event remains uncertain. Even so, the scene offers a useful glimpse of how horse shows of the period blended athletic competition with polished public display.
