The former Agnes Huntington, an actress and opera singer. Her husband and daughter Vera are in this one: She can be seen in a much younger (and highly corseted) portrait here: www.life.com/image/50335442

Thanks for providing a fuller name. We'll add it to the source data and reload the description.

her husband, Paul Drennan Cravath, was a name partner of Cravath, Swain and Moore law firm in NYC: here is his bio: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Cravath

Polo, yes.

that is neat !

Is June 14th, 1913 the date of the match? I'd love to know the venue.

doberman8882002, looking at the photos around it, this was probably taken in autumn of 1911. We have a small set of Bain polo photographs (as opposed to negatives like these) but this image didn't show up there nor did the two others taken at the same time.

Jon (LOC P&P) Thanks for your kind reply

Hi, I'm an admin for a group called ANYTHING GOES ENGLAND,VINTAGE PHOTOS,POSTCARDS,EPHEMERAetc..., and we'd love to have this added to the group!

This photo was taken on June 8, 1911. The English Polo team was playing the U. S. team in America. A New York Times story of June 8 reported that play had been delayed because the field at Meadow Brook was soggy after three days of rain: query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?_r=1&res=9E07E...

Wystan: Thanks for pointing out the date on the negative and locating the likely date of the event--an interesting discrepancy. We'll add the information to the description when we update.
