EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment frozen in time - the legendary French mare, Helleniqua, with her jockey B. Guimard, in 1939. The image showcases the undeniable bond between horse and rider as they stand proudly on a lush green grassy field. Helleniqua was no ordinary racehorse; she had proven her worth by winning the prestigious Cambridge Stakes in 1938. This victory solidified her place among the greats of her time. In this portrait, we see B. Guimard dressed in his racing attire - a classic cap atop his head and adorned in vibrant silks that represent his country's colors: brown and purple stripes against a backdrop of greenery. The photograph exudes an air of elegance and grace as it transports us back to the thirties, capturing not only the spirit of sport but also showcasing the fashion trends of that era. The print is part of "Racehorses & Jockeys" a series of forty images produced by W. D. & H. O. Wills from Bristol in 1939. It serves as a testament to their commitment to preserving moments like these for future generations to appreciate. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are reminded of the timeless beauty found within equestrian sports - where man and animal come together harmoniously to create something truly extraordinary.
