EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Partisan, a remarkable racehorse foaled in 1811. The image, captured by an English School photographer in the 19th century, is part of a private collection. It was originally used as an illustration for "Portraits of Celebrated Racehorses" by Thomas Henry Taunton, published in 1887. Partisan's powerful presence can be felt through this photograph as he gallops with grace and strength. His muscular frame and focused gaze reveal his determination to conquer the racing track. This image transports us back to a time when horse racing was not only a sport but also a symbol of elegance and prestige. The historical significance of Partisan goes beyond his athletic prowess. The mention of his name evokes memories of the French Resistance during World War II, where "partisans" fought against Nazi occupation forces. Although unrelated to this context, it adds an intriguing layer to the story behind this magnificent creature. The monochrome aesthetic enhances the timeless quality of this photograph, allowing us to appreciate both its artistic value and historical relevance. As we admire Partisan's beauty frozen in time, we are reminded that even centuries later, horses continue to captivate our hearts with their grace and spirit.
