EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "FVQ-F-065480-0000" takes us back in time to the early 20th century. The image captures a thrilling moment during a race at the horse track. In the foreground, we see a two-wheeled buggy speeding along with great agility, driven by an unidentified jockey. The intensity of the competition is palpable as other horses and buggies can be seen trailing closely behind. The setting is an impressive hippodrome, showcasing both its grandeur and architectural beauty. Spectators fill the stands, eagerly watching this exhilarating display of skill and speed. The atmosphere is electric with excitement as people cheer on their favorite competitors. This photograph not only highlights the sport of horseback riding but also provides a glimpse into transportation methods of that era. It showcases how terrestrial mammals like horses were crucial for land travel before automobiles became prevalent. The composition beautifully captures the essence of this scene: motion frozen in time. We can almost feel the wind rushing past our faces as we imagine ourselves witnessing this heart-pounding event firsthand. Although taken by an unidentified author from Alinari, this print transports us back to a bygone era where horse racing was one of society's most beloved pastimes. It serves as a reminder of our fascination with sports and our enduring connection to animals throughout history. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, it sparks curiosity about those who participated in such races and reminds us that even though times have changed, our love for competition remains timeless.
