This picture pairs a man identified as J.M. Cox with a horse titled "Governor," though the record notes that the name comes from unverified Bain News Service data on the negative or caption card. The Bain News Service, a Manhattan agency, produced news photographs from the early 1900s through the 1910s and 1920s, and its glass negatives record a wide range of people and events of the period. Horses appear often in these images, reflecting how central they still were to city transport, sport, and farm life in that era. Because the record gives no date, the exact occasion remains unknown, but the glass plate itself points to the working newspaper photography of that time.
