This glass negative, dated May 15, 1924, records a horse show, a popular spectacle of the period when equestrian exhibitions drew crowds to fairgrounds and armories. The plate comes from the National Photo Company, a commercial firm that photographed Washington, D.C., and its surroundings in the early twentieth century. Its title was supplied by the company and is unverified, so the event's exact location is best confirmed from other sources. The record notes that streaks and other blemishes may come from natural deterioration of the original coating, a common problem with glass negatives of this age.
