The record names a rider identified only as R.L. Agassiz, mounted for polo, and the title comes from caption data that the Bain News Service recorded without verification, so the identification should be treated with care. The negative belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, a body of glass negatives made by a New York news photography agency that operated from the early 1900s into the 1920s. Polo was a fashionable sport among wealthy New Yorkers in that period, and pictures like this one show how the agency documented elite leisure for newspapers and illustrated magazines.
