EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "East Hampton Horse Show, 1934," captures the essence of an idyllic American pastime during the 1930s. Taken by renowned photographer Arnold Genthe, the image transports us back in time to a picturesque outdoor setting in East Hampton, New York, United States of America. A thrilling equestrian event unfolds before us, as a group of riders and their horses prepare to jump over a high fence, their determined expressions a testament to their skill and athleticism. The crowd of onlookers, both men and women, dressed in fashionable attire of the era, watch intently, their eyes fixed on the action. The atmosphere is electric, filled with excitement and anticipation. The horses, powerful and majestic, stand ready, their coats glistening in the sunlight. The jockeys, poised atop their mounts, lean forward, their hands gripping the reins, ready to spur their horses forward. The image, a nitrate negative from the Library of Congress, is a stunning example of the heritage art of the 20th century. The contrast between the white and black elements creates a striking visual effect, highlighting the dynamic energy of the scene. The image is a testament to the enduring appeal of horse shows and the rich equestrian tradition in America. This photograph is not only a historical document but also a beautiful work of art that continues to captivate and inspire us today.
