EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment frozen in time - the Meadow, Jockey: T. Weston, 1939. Tommy Weston, a renowned jockey of his era, is seen astride Hyperion, the legendary racehorse that delivered an awe-inspiring performance at the Derby in 1933. This victory is widely regarded as one of the greatest in racing history. In this image, we witness Weston's undeniable skill and connection with his equine partner. The intensity on their faces reveals their determination to conquer any challenge that lies before them. The vibrant yellow cap atop Weston's head adds a striking contrast against the backdrop of lush green meadows. The composition beautifully showcases both man and horse amidst nature's splendor. The bay-colored thoroughbred stands tall and powerful while grazing peacefully on Irish soil. Its sleek coat glistens under the warm sunlight filtering through wisps of clouds overhead. This photograph not only immortalizes an extraordinary athlete but also transports us back to a bygone era - the thirties - when sportsmanship was revered above all else. It serves as a reminder of our enduring fascination with horse racing and its ability to captivate audiences across generations. As we admire this remarkable piece from Racehorses & Jockeys series by W. D & H. O Wills, Bristol (1939), let us appreciate the artistry behind capturing such fleeting moments that continue to inspire awe even decades later.
