EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the majestic beauty of Vauban, a racehorse foaled in 1864. The image, taken by an English School photographer in the 19th century, showcases Vauban's strength and grace as he gallops with wild abandon. This particular photograph is part of a private collection and was featured in the book "Portraits of Celebrated Racehorses" by Thomas Henry Taunton. Vauban's powerful physique is evident as he effortlessly propels himself forward, his muscles rippling under his sleek coat. His mane flows freely in the wind, adding to the sense of motion captured within this frozen moment. As one gazes upon this image, it becomes clear that Vauban possessed both speed and endurance - qualities highly sought after in racehorses. The historical significance of this photograph cannot be overlooked. It provides us with a glimpse into the world of horse racing during the 19th century when these magnificent animals were revered for their athletic prowess. Through this image, we are transported back to a time when horse racing was not only a sport but also an integral part of society's fabric.
