EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Horse Show or Show Jumping Event," was captured by the renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe between 1911 and 1942. The image transports us back in time to an era of simplicity and charm, showcasing the essence of country life in America during the 1910s, 1920s, and 1930s. The scene unfolds at an open-air horse show, where the thrill of competition and the beauty of horses come together. Four individuals, two men and two women, are gathered around the edge of the arena, their eyes fixed on the action unfolding before them. A rider, dressed in riding attire, expertly navigates his horse over a series of jumps, demonstrating skill and grace. In the background, a covered wagon and a horse-drawn wagon add to the rustic setting, emphasizing the connection between transportation and the land. Children, both boys and girls, can be seen in the crowd, their faces filled with wonder and excitement. The image is a testament to the enduring appeal of horse shows and the role they played in American heritage and culture. Arnold Genthe, a master of his craft, skillfully captured this moment in time using a nitrate negative, which adds to the image's historical significance. This photograph, held in the prestigious Library of Congress, is a treasure trove of American history and a reminder of the simple pleasures and traditions that continue to resonate with us today.
