The title on this glass negative refers to a horseshoe connected with someone named Sulzer, though the record notes that the name comes from unverified information written on the negative or its caption card. The image belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, made by the Bain News Service, a New York agency that supplied news pictures, portraits and street scenes to newspapers in the early 1900s. Glass plates like this one were the standard working medium of that era, and an image centered on a horseshoe recalls a time when horses still pulled much of American city life. Viewers should treat the caption as a starting point for research rather than a settled fact.
