EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled 'Finest in the World' and estimated to date back to 1885, transports us back in time to the thrilling world of horse racing during the late 19th century. The image captures the intense focus and determination of jockeys Jay Crouch (wearing a striped jersey) and Julien Maud (wearing a red jersey), as they prepare for the race with their thoroughbred steeds, heads bowed and eyes fixed on the starting gate. The photograph was taken at a racetrack in Chicago, a city known for its vibrant horse racing scene during this era. The horses, with their powerful muscles tensed and ears pricked, exude a sense of raw energy and power, ready to burst into action at the sound of the starting gun. The image is a testament to the skill and dedication of the jockeys and their horses, who trained tirelessly for races that could make or break their careers. The photograph also provides a glimpse into the fashion and style of the time, with the jockeys dressed in colorful jerseys and breeches, and the horses adorned with intricate tack and blankets. The photograph's composition, with the horses and jockeys framed against the backdrop of the racetrack, creates a sense of depth and drama, making it a truly stunning and evocative piece of history. This photograph is not only a beautiful work of art but also a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of horse racing during a bygone era.
