This glass negative is titled "Valentine on horse," though the Library of Congress notes that the title comes from unverified data on the negative or its caption card, so the rider's identity and the occasion remain unconfirmed. The picture belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, made by the Bain News Service, a New York agency that sold news photographs to newspapers and magazines in the early twentieth century. Its glass plates record everyday city and public life, including sporting and street scenes. Because the record gives no date, the image is best understood as a fragment of that period's news photography. Its small format and fragile medium are typical of the collection.
