Antique Photograph of a Man Wearing a Top Hat Riding a Horse

This is an antique cabinet photograph of a man wearing a top hat
while riding a horse.

Cabinet photographs are dated about 1860's to 1930's.
They were mounted on heavy card-stock.
(this one is dated about 1890's)

They are called "cabinet photographs" because;
when photography was still somewhat new,
people displayed photographs in cabinets
(mostly in parlors of wealthy home owners).
