1879 Horseback Saddle Stirrup Takes
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the year 1879, depicts a graceful and determined lady as she takes a stirrup cup while mounted on horseback. The scene unfolds in the great outdoors, with the rolling hills and lush greenery providing a picturesque backdrop. Dressed in the height of fashion for the time, the woman wears a voluminous skirt and a fitted jacket, accessorized with a stylish hat and a pair of riding boots. The stirrup cup, a traditional drinking vessel used during hunting and riding, is held in her right hand. With her left hand, she steadies herself on the horse's neck, her posture poised and confident. The side saddle, a design specifically created for women riders, allows her to sit sideways on the horse, with a cushioned platform for her leg and a leather flap to protect her skirt. The stirrup cup was an essential part of the hunting experience for women riders in the late 19th century. It allowed them to take a refreshing drink while on the move, keeping them hydrated and energized during long rides. The act of taking a stirrup cup also provided a moment of respite, a brief pause in the thrill of the chase. This photograph captures the essence of the sporting life of the Victorian era, a time when the great outdoors was a playground for the wealthy and the adventurous. The lady's determination and elegance are on full display, making for a truly captivating image that transports us back in time.
