EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Hackney stallion, Danegelt, captured around 1905 by artist Henry Powell Palfrey. The image takes us back to Elsenham Hall in Essex, where this remarkable horse resided under the ownership of Walter Gilbey, a prominent figure as president of both the Shire Horse Society and the Hackney Horse Society. Danegelt exudes power and elegance as he stands proudly against the backdrop of this grand country house. His muscular frame and sleek coat epitomize the beauty and strength associated with his breed. This portrait is a testament to Sir Walter Gilbey's dedication to preserving these noble horses. The photograph hails from "Live Stock in Health and Disease" edited by Professor J Prince-Sheldon, published around 1890 by The Waverley Book Co. Ltd in London. It offers us a glimpse into early 20th century England, capturing not only an exceptional animal but also reflecting on British heritage. Henry Powell Palfrey skillfully captures every detail of Danegelt's regal presence while highlighting the architectural splendor of Elsenham Hall. This print serves as a timeless reminder of our deep connection with animals and their significance within our cultural history.
