Cabinet card photograph showing a young jockey mounted on a large horse in an open field, with buildings visible in the background. The mount bears the vertical imprint “Cambridge, Ills.” along the edge, identifying the location as Cambridge, Illinois. The rider wears a cap, riding jacket, and tall boots while holding the reins and a riding crop, posed confidently atop the horse.

The photograph was taken outdoors, likely on the grounds of a stable or racecourse. Behind the rider are several wooden buildings including what appears to be a barn or agricultural structure along with a farmhouse. The horse stands calmly in profile, allowing the camera to clearly capture both the animal and rider.

Images of young jockeys on horseback were unusual subjects during the late nineteenth century, often commissioned to commemorate a famous horse ot successful race.

The reverse is blank aside from light pencil notations.
