EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "East Hampton Horse Show, 1936," was captured by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe. The image transports us back in time to the idyllic countryside of East Hampton, New York, during the 1930s in the United States. The scene is set at an outdoor equestrian event, where riders and their horses display their skills and grace in a picturesque setting. Genthe's composition expertly showcases the harmony between man and horse, as jockeys and riders don colorful apparel, dressed in a mix of white and black, adorned with splashes of color. The women wear elegant dresses, while the men wear shorts and shirts, all adding to the vintage charm of the image. In the background, a windmill stands tall, serving as a quintessential symbol of the rural landscape. The East Hampton Horse Show, held in the heart of the Hamptons, was a popular event during the 1930s, attracting both local and national attention. This photograph, taken as a nitrate negative, is a testament to the rich heritage of equestrian sports in America and the fashion trends of the era. The image, now part of the prestigious Library of Congress collection, continues to captivate audiences with its timeless beauty and authenticity.
