Photograph of the Thoroughbred stallion, "St. Simon" at 21 years old standing in a paddock next to a stone barn with a man holding the reins of his bridle in 1920. The horse, by "Galopin St. Angela", was foaled in 1899 and was owned by the Duke of Portland. According to the text beneath the image, "St. Simon" was 'unbeaten on the turf; the greatest sire of recent times; his progeny, including two Derby winners, has won over £506,000 in stakes.'
