This print captures a moment in history at the Benning Race Track in Maryland, back in 1912. The image features August Belmont Jr. , an esteemed banker and prominent figure of his time, accompanied by Mrs. Donald Cameron. Both exude elegance and sophistication as they immerse themselves in the thrilling atmosphere of horse racing. August Belmont Jr. , aged between 45 to 50 years old at the time, stands tall amongst a group of society women who are equally engrossed in the event. Their fashionable attire reflects the Victorian era's sense of style, with hats adorning their heads adding to their refined appearance. The monochromatic composition adds a touch of nostalgia to this historic snapshot, highlighting its timeless appeal. As one man amidst several women, August Belmont Jr. 's presence commands attention and exemplifies his status within society. This photograph not only documents a day at the races but also provides us with a glimpse into the lives of famous personalities from that era. It serves as a reminder of how horse racing was not just an activity but also an occasion for socializing among financiers and other influential individuals. Preserved by Underwood Archives from Universal Images Group (UIG), this vintage print allows us to appreciate both its historical significance and artistic beauty without mentioning any commercial use associated with it.
