Description

Photograph of a racetrack with a woman in a Little Bo Peep style costume, ca.1930. The woman is standing in the center while holding a shepherd's cane. She is standing on a grassy lawn; to her right, what seems to be a floral garden is visible surrounded by small bushes. In the foreground, a stream(?) that leads to a small pond is observable. Behind the woman, a line of horses with their respective jockey is noticeable along a fence that extends from left to right. In the background, a large building, which seems to be the grand stand of the racetrack, is crowded with people.
