Item description from seller

109p, ca. 100 large photos. No jacket, as issued. Reproduces turn-of-the-20th-century photos from August Belmont II's personal photograph album of Long Island society enjoying coaching, hunting, polo, the races, and balancing picnic lunches on their laps. Some of them were made by one Bidwell, who specialized in equestrian subjects. Most of the activities, people, and locations are not identified, with a few exceptions, such as Elliot Roosevelt dancing, and Mrs. August Belmont II impeccably turned out aside. Although the quality of the images is uneven due to the condition of the originals, they are valuable resources for details of accoutrements and turn out. With an informative introduction by Ferrell.

Store description

Specializing in good horse and art books since 1973. My open shop of 37 years is now closed, but I welcome online or phone orders. My equestrian books are strong in 19th-century titles, ephemera, and the obscure, overlooked, and uncommon in all fields. Among the other books are many antiquarian bookseller and book auction catalogues. For regular announcements of new arrivals, please sign up at www.bledsoebooks.com. I look forward to serving you.
