This charming photograph shows a gentleman in formal attire including a bowler hat affectionately petting a dark-colored horse identified as 'Tulip II' in the caption. The image captures a tender moment between man and animal against a brick wall backdrop, reflecting the personal side of aviation industry figures during the mid-20th century when horses were still common for transportation and leisure.
