Also from the Facebook page “The Old Bahrain” this photo labeled: “Arab traders can be seen in a photo taken at the Arabian horse market in Bombay, India, around 1898“
Of course many of the Arab “social media horse sharks” took this photo and reposted it as if it was taken in Cairo. I even fell for it.
Horses destined for the racetrack, or else to be officers’ mounts, I suppose.
Social Media Shark is a good name for those… “influencers”.
