EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print titled "Thunderbolt, 1911" takes us back to the thrilling world of horse racing in early 20th century Britain. The identity of both the creator and the jockey remain unknown, adding an air of mystery to this remarkable portrait. The image showcases Thunderbolt, a magnificent racehorse whose power and grace are palpable even through time. With his sleek coat glistening under the sunlight, Thunderbolt stands tall as if ready to gallop towards victory once more. The unknown jockey atop him exudes confidence and skill, embodying the symbiotic relationship between man and beast that defines equestrian sports. Taken from William Scarth Dixon's renowned publication "British Sports and Sportsmen: Racing Coursing and Steeplechasing" this photograph is not just a mere depiction but also a piece of art that captures the essence of Edwardian-era horse racing. It transports us to an era when horse races were grand social events attended by gentlemen in their finest attire. As we gaze upon this monochrome masterpiece, we can almost hear the thunderous applause echoing through history as Thunderbolt crosses another finish line. This print serves as a testament to the enduring allure of horse racing—a sport that has captivated hearts for centuries—and reminds us of its timeless appeal as both a thrilling spectacle and an integral part of British sporting heritage.
