This glass negative shows A.G. Vanderbilt with a trotting horse at a show in Long Branch, New Jersey, a seaside resort that hosted equestrian events in the early 1900s. Vanderbilt was a well-known sportsman with a deep interest in harness racing and show horses, and the trotter's conditioning and harness are the focus here. The record gives no exact date, and the title comes from unverified caption data, so the details should be read with some caution. The picture is part of the George Grantham Bain Collection, whose photographers documented New York-area news and society events in the early twentieth century.
