EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Iris, a racehorse foaled in 1848. The image, captured by an English School artist in the 19th century, is part of a private collection and was featured in Thomas Henry Taunton's book "Portraits of Celebrated Racehorses". Iris exudes strength and grace as she gallops through the frame, her powerful muscles propelling her forward with incredible speed. This stunning portrayal perfectly captures the energy and intensity of horse racing during this era. The photo not only highlights Iris' beauty but also serves as a testament to the rich history of equestrian sports. It takes us back to a time when horse racing was not just a sport but also an integral part of society's fabric. In addition to its historical significance, this image offers us glimpses into nature's wonders. Surrounding Iris are wildflowers that add splashes of color against the monochromatic backdrop. These delicate blooms symbolize both fragility and resilience—a reminder that even amidst intense competition, there is still room for beauty. Bridgeman Images has expertly preserved this remarkable piece of art from the 19th century for all to appreciate today. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time—immersing ourselves in both sporting history and natural wonderment.
