EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the majestic Galtee More, a racehorse that was sold to the Russian Government for an astounding £21,000 in the 19th century. The English photographer skillfully captured this momentous event, showcasing the power and grace of this magnificent creature. The image is part of a private collection and offers a glimpse into history when horse racing held great significance. Galtee More's sale to the Russian Government made headlines back in May 1898, as illustrated in The Graphic publication. This photograph serves as a visual testament to this noteworthy transaction. The composition showcases Galtee More's undeniable beauty and strength as he stands tall with his head held high. His sleek coat glistens under the light, emphasizing his athleticism and elegance. It is evident why such a remarkable horse commanded such an impressive price tag. This photograph not only commemorates Galtee More but also provides insight into the world of horse racing during that era. It serves as a reminder of how art can capture historical moments and preserve them for generations to come. Displayed within Fine Art Finder's collection by Bridgeman Images, this timeless image invites us to appreciate both photography as an art form and horses' enduring allure on racetracks throughout history.
