This 1912 view of a horse show is a glass negative from the Bain News Service, a press photography agency that supplied newspapers with pictures of current events. The record's title comes from the agency's own caption information and has not been independently verified, so the exact show and location remain uncertain. Equestrian exhibitions were popular public and society events in American cities in the early 1900s, drawing crowds to judge horses, riders and turnouts. Bain's glass plates from this period are valued today for documenting how such events looked and who attended them.
