EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "East Hampton Horse Show, 1934," captures the essence of a bygone era in American history. Taken by renowned photographer Arnold Genthe, the image transports us back to a time when the idyllic town of East Hampton, New York, was the setting for an annual equestrian event that drew the elite of society. The photograph depicts a lively scene at the horse show, with riders and their horses gathered in an outdoor arena. In the foreground, a young girl in a white blouse and skirt, her hair in pigtails, gazes intently at a horse as it is led by a man in a hat and jacket. Behind her, other riders, both male and female, prepare their horses for competition. The sun casts long shadows across the grass, adding depth and texture to the scene. The photograph is a testament to the enduring appeal of horse riding and the horse show tradition in America. It also offers a glimpse into the social fabric of the 1930s, a time when the wealthy and privileged gathered to celebrate their love of horses and the great outdoors. This image, a nitrate negative from the Library of Congress, is a valuable addition to our cultural heritage. It invites us to reflect on the past and appreciate the beauty and grace of the horse and the rider. The photograph is numbered in the Genthe archive, a testament to its historical significance and the legacy of the photographer who captured it.
