EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, captured between 1911 and 1942 by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe, transports us back in time to a horse show or show jumping event in the United States. The image, held in the prestigious Library of Congress, showcases a group of young men in various stages of readiness, their focused expressions and postures reflecting the intensity and excitement of the competition. The pavilion's grand architecture serves as a striking backdrop, its columns and arches creating a sense of history and tradition. The horses, with their powerful forms and alert expressions, mirror the riders' determination and grace. One young man, poised at the edge of the arena, appears ready to mount, while another, at the far right, adjusts his hat and checks his watch. This image, a nitrate negative from the 1910s, 1920s, or 1930s, offers a glimpse into the heritage of equestrian sports in America during a bygone era. Genthe's masterful use of light and shadow, as well as his ability to capture the essence of the moment, make this photograph a timeless work of art.
