EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Fair Helen, foaled 1817" takes us back to the early 19th century, a time when horse racing was at its peak. The image showcases the grace and power of this magnificent racehorse, captured by an unknown English School artist from that era. The photograph is part of a private collection and was originally featured in Thomas Henry Taunton's book "Portraits of Celebrated Racehorses". Published in 1887, this volume chronicles notable racehorses from the late 18th century to the early 19th century. Fair Helen herself was born in 1817 and undoubtedly left her mark on the racing world during her time. This image allows us to appreciate her beauty and elegance as she gallops with determination across an open field. Horse racing has always been more than just a sport; it represents athleticism, teamwork, and history. It evokes images of jockeys clad in colorful silks, thundering hooves on turf tracks, and spectators cheering for their favorite horses. As we gaze upon this timeless print by Bridgeman Images, we are transported back to a bygone era where these majestic creatures reigned supreme. It serves as a reminder of our deep connection with animals and our fascination with their speed, strength, and agility. Whether you are an avid fan of horse racing or simply appreciate fine art photography capturing moments frozen in time like this one – Fair Helen's legacy lives
