EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph, titled "Horse Shows - Mclean Horses, 1912," captures the essence of equestrian competition during an era of American history when horse shows were a popular form of outdoor entertainment. The image, created by renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing, depicts a group of men and women gathered around the perimeter of an outdoor arena, intently watching as a horse and rider take center stage. John Roll McLean, the event's namesake, stands proudly at the forefront of the crowd, donning a top hat and coat. His wife, Martha Kuntze McLean, is also present, her elegant dress and hat adding a touch of sophistication to the scene. The male contestants, dressed in breeches and jodhpurs, prepare their horses for the competition, adjusting tack and giving last-minute instructions. The photograph was taken at a time when horse shows were an integral part of American culture, often held at prominent locations such as county fairs and agricultural societies. These events brought together enthusiasts and professionals alike, fostering a sense of community and appreciation for the horse and its versatility. The image, a glass negative from the George W. Harris Collection at the Library of Congress, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when horse shows were a cherished tradition and the connection between man and horse was a source of pride and enjoyment.
