EDITORS COMMENTS
In this black and white portrait, we are transported back to the year 1926 in Newmarket, Suffolk. The print captures Miss Iris Rickaby, a remarkable woman jockey, as she stands confidently ready for another day of work at her brother-in-law Walter Griggs' stables. Her determined gaze and poised stance exude strength and passion for her chosen profession. The image beautifully showcases the essence of an era when women were breaking barriers in sports that were traditionally dominated by men. Miss Rickaby's presence challenges societal norms and exemplifies the spirit of female empowerment during a time when gender equality was still a distant dream. Photographed by Kirby from Topical Press Agency/Getty Images, this stunning portrait is a testament to both his skill behind the lens and his ability to capture not only the physicality but also the character of his subject. The monochromatic format adds depth and timelessness to the image, allowing us to fully appreciate its historical significance. This print serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of gender equality in sports while acknowledging those trailblazers who paved the way for future generations. It is an inspiring piece that celebrates resilience, determination, and unwavering dedication – qualities embodied by Miss Iris Rickaby herself.
