EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Aesop, a renowned racehorse from 1911. Created by Adrian Jones, this piece of art showcases the powerful bond between horse and jockey in the world of British sports. In this image, we see Aesop galloping with great speed and elegance, his muscular frame glistening under the sunlight. The jockey atop him is Captain Adrian Jones himself, a skilled rider who perfectly synchronizes his movements with that of his equine partner. Their unity is evident as they navigate through the racetrack effortlessly. The monochrome effect adds a timeless quality to this portrait, transporting us back to the Edwardian era when horse racing was at its peak in Britain. It serves as a reminder of the rich history and tradition associated with this beloved sport. Adrian Jones's attention to detail is remarkable; every muscle on Aesop's body seems alive while he propels forward towards victory. This artwork not only celebrates athleticism but also pays homage to literature as it features one of Aesop's fables - an allegorical tale that teaches moral lessons. Displayed in William Scarth Dixon's book "British Sports and Sportsmen: Racing Coursing and Steeplechasing" this print stands as a testament to both artistic skill and sporting prowess. It reminds us that behind every successful athlete lies dedication, discipline, and an unbreakable bond between man and animal.
