    Enhancement of the hi-res version of the photo allows reading "National Capital Horse Show 1911" on the ribbon.. There seem to be many photos of this show in the LOC Harris & Ewing Collection. The show was held May 4-6, 1911. I think many of these photos can be identified, and maybe there is still information on the contrestants' numbers, which are visible on armbands.

    I think this is Martha Hazard, who is named in some of the other H&E pictures. www.loc.gov/pictures/item/2016863330/ looks like the same outfit and www.loc.gov/pictures/item/2016863575/ could be the same horse with a white sock on left hind leg. The Times Dispatch. May 05, 1911, Page 7, column 4 chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn85038615/1911-05-05/ed-... mentions some women who competed, including Miss Hazard.

    Agree, that's her. She's got the same armband on in one of the other pictures. This show was a pretty big deal. The site is referred to as Potomac Park, but is not the same site as the later Potomac Parks. This park no longer exists. The grounds were specially built for this show in 6 weeks on a vacant lot. President Taft was the patron of the show and attended. There seem to be 60 pictures of the 1911 show from Harris & Ewing, almost all not identified as such. www.loc.gov/pictures/search/?q=horse%201911%20H261 The unidentified people in them, as well as the roles in the show of the identified people can mostly be figured out from two articles in Bit & Spur magazine, at pp. 8 and 23 of this referenced search: books.google.com/books?id=4hdLAQAAMAAJ&dq=National+Ca... There are also 6 photos illustrating the second article.

    Another mystery solved, starting with some careful, close looking. Wonderful to know more about this 1911 event depicted in so many Harris & Ewing photos. We will make edits to all of the related photos' descriptions with the information you've provided!

    Looks like it meant to take a 360-degree photograph.... actually 8 photographs of 8 mirrors.
  • Tim Evanson said:
    The lenses are 6-inch wide angle "Xpres" lenses made by Ross (based in London, UK).
  • Kilted Cowboy said:
    this was actually the first iteration of Daleks for the 1914 stage play "Dr Who"
  • Art Siegel said:
    related to www.loc.gov/pictures/item/hec2013011206/resource/ I think this is the same camera, seen from the other side.

    The most similar thing I have found is in www.isprs.org/proceedings/XXXIV/5-W16/papers/PanoWS_Dresd... See fig 20 for an aerial panorama camera.
