This photograph shows E.J. Laplace with a horse named "Kate Nelson," identified in the record as a first-prize winner at a Speedway parade. The date on the record is written as 5/1/08, and the title comes from caption data that the Bain News Service recorded on the negative or its card, so both should be read with some caution. The picture is one of the glass negatives made by George Grantham Bain's New York news photography agency, which sold pictures to newspapers in the early 1900s. Horse shows and parades were popular news subjects then, and the prize ribbon and the rider's pose are worth a close look for their record of how such events were presented to the public.
