EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph, titled "Horse Shows - Adolphus Busch, 3rd of St. Louis, 1911," captures a moment in time during a horse show event in the United States during the early 1910s. The image, created by the renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing, features Adolphus Busch, the third generation scion of the Anheuser-Busch brewing dynasty of St. Louis, Missouri. Busch is depicted in the photograph, seated confidently in a horse-drawn vehicle, likely a carriage or cart, as he watches intently as a team of horses competes in the show. The horses, with their powerful muscles rippling under their sleek coats, pull the vehicle with determination, their ears pricked forward in focus. The background reveals a grand building, possibly the site of the horse show, with large windows and ornate architectural details. The photograph is a testament to the enduring popularity of horse shows as a form of entertainment and competition during the early 20th century. The horses, an essential part of daily life for transportation and labor, were celebrated for their strength, agility, and beauty. The image also provides a glimpse into the past, offering a window into the world of horse shows and the role they played in American culture at the time. Harris & Ewing, a prominent photography studio based in Washington D.C., was known for its high-quality glass negatives, which were used to produce this stunning black and white image. The studio, founded by George W. Harris and Martha Ewing Newcombe, was a leading producer of photographic images during the early 20th century, documenting significant events and capturing the essence of American life during a time of great change.
