EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the legendary rivalry between two remarkable racehorses - Voltigeur and the Flying Dutchman. Dating back to 1847-1874, this iconic image showcases a defining moment in British Thoroughbred horse racing history. In this intense competition, both animals are seen neck and neck on the race track, their powerful muscles straining as they gallop towards victory. The skilled jockey atop Voltigeur exhibits sheer determination as he guides his magnificent steed with precision and finesse. The photograph not only immortalizes these extraordinary horses but also pays homage to the rich tradition of horse racing in Britain during the 19th century. It serves as a testament to the passion and dedication of sportsmen who devoted themselves to this exhilarating sport. As an art form, this monochrome masterpiece evokes a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era when horse racing was at its zenith. The attention to detail captured by Thomas Dundas, 2nd Earl of Zetland, is truly commendable, showcasing his talent as both an artist and photographer.
