Horseback in Brooklyn

"Apr 11" - "Spring 1911"

Though Adeline doesn't identify a location, I'm certain these photographs were taken outside 135 Maple Street because the contractor's trailer and construction area in the photographs are also seen in the "135 Maple Street" photographs.

 

The identities of three of the five people in the photos aren't known, although it appears to be an outing with friends. My guess is that Adeline took #1 since she's in the other ones, so someone else had to be the photographer. One supposition is that the man on the far right in #1 took the rest of the photographs, as he or his horse don't appear in any other photos than that one, and the shadow of the photographer in the other pictures indicates the photographer wears a hat as well as has a horse.

#2 -- Lucian and Adeline. 

#1 -- L-R - Unnamed couple, Lucian, and man in the bowler who is the possible photographer of the other photographs.
