EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "East Hampton Horse Show, 1936," captures the essence of a bygone era in American history. Taken by renowned photographer Arnold Genthe, this image transports us back to a time when the sport of equestrianism held a prominent place in the hearts and minds of the American public. The scene unfolds at the picturesque East Hampton Horse Show in New York, where the lush, green grass of the countryside stretches out before us, dotted with white tents and spectators. At the center of the image, a determined jockey sits atop his steed, poised for the next race. His focused expression and taut body language convey the intensity and excitement of the competition. Surrounding him, a crowd of men, dressed in the height of 1930s fashion, watch intently, their faces etched with anticipation. Horses of all shapes and sizes mill about, their coats glistening with sweat and exertion. This photograph, a nitrate negative held in the Library of Congress, is a testament to the rich heritage of American equestrian culture. It invites us to imagine the sights, sounds, and smells of the East Hampton Horse Show, and to appreciate the timeless beauty of the horse and rider relationship. With its stunning composition and evocative imagery, this photograph by Arnold Genthe is a must-see for anyone with an appreciation for history, sports, or the simple joys of rural life.
