EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a unique moment in history, showcasing a horse ringing a bell. Taken by an English photographer in the 20th century, this print is part of a private collection. The image was originally created as an illustration for "The Clever Animals Picture Book" published around 1945. Intriguingly, this picture sheds light on the intelligence and cleverness of animals. It portrays a horse using its mouth and teeth to ring a bell, drawing attention to itself or perhaps signaling something important within the stables. This unusual behavior challenges our preconceived notions about animal capabilities and highlights their remarkable abilities. Set against the backdrop of the mid-20th century, this photograph also provides insight into historical attitudes towards animals during that time period. It serves as evidence of how horses were exploited for various purposes such as racing or farm work. With its striking composition and monochromatic tones, this image invites viewers to ponder upon the extraordinary bond between humans and animals throughout history. It reminds us that even in seemingly ordinary moments like these, there is always something exceptional waiting to be discovered.
