EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Medora, a racehorse foaled in 1811. The image, captured by an English School photographer in the 19th century, is part of a private collection. Medora's elegance and strength are beautifully portrayed in this historic photograph. The picture was originally used as an illustration for "Portraits of Celebrated Racehorses" by Thomas Henry Taunton, Volume II. Published in 1887 by Sampson Low, this book chronicles the remarkable horses from 1797 to 1824. In this image, Medora can be seen running with grace and determination on a racetrack. Her powerful stride and focused gaze demonstrate her athletic prowess. This photo captures not only the beauty of Medora but also the excitement and intensity of horse racing during that era. Horses have always been admired for their speed and agility, making them popular subjects for art throughout history. This particular photograph exemplifies the timeless appeal of these magnificent animals. With its black and white aesthetic, this photo exudes a sense of nostalgia while preserving an important piece of sporting history. It serves as a testament to both the skillful photography techniques employed during that time period and the enduring legacy of racehorses like Medora. Bridgeman Images has preserved this historical gem through Fine Art Finder so that viewers can appreciate its beauty and significance for years to come.
