EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent racehorse, Why Not, foaled in 1744. The image, captured by an English School artist in the 19th century, exudes a sense of history and elegance. With its striking monochromatic tones, it transports us back to a time when horse racing was at its peak. Why Not stands tall and proud in this photograph, embodying the grace and power that made him a celebrated racehorse of his era. This particular print is part of a private collection and was featured as an illustration in Thomas Henry Taunton's book "Portraits of Celebrated Racehorses". Published in 1887 by Sampson Low, this volume chronicles notable horses from 1702 to 1796. The image captures Why Not mid-stride during one of his races. His muscular frame suggests speed and agility while his focused expression reveals determination. It is evident that he possessed all the qualities necessary for success on the racetrack. This print not only serves as a visual tribute to Why Not but also offers us insight into the world of horse racing during the early years of the 19th century. It reminds us of our enduring fascination with these majestic creatures and their role in sporting history. With Bridgeman Images' copyright protection ensuring its preservation, this remarkable piece continues to captivate viewers with its timeless beauty and historical significance.
