EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time and journey through the centuries as we explore the timeless bond between women and horses, as depicted in this evocative photograph from 1918, available through Mary Evans Prints Online. The image captures a series of moments in history, from the medieval era to the early 20th century, where women gracefully ride horses, their elegance and poise on full display. In the foreground, a woman in a flowing dress and a pointed hat rides side-saddle, her hat held in place by a gentleman's hand. This traditional riding style, popular during the 19th century, was a symbol of chivalry and refinement, with women often being transported on horseback in this manner. Further back, a woman in a hat and a man in a bowler hat observe as a centaur, a mythical creature with the upper body of a human and the lower body of a horse, approaches. This fantastical addition to the scene serves as a reminder of the enduring legends and folklore that have long been intertwined with the history of horses and their riders. As we move through the ages, we see a woman in a simple dress and a bonnet, her hair flowing freely in the wind as she rides with a determined expression. This image represents the freedom and independence that horses have provided women throughout history, allowing them to travel and explore beyond the confines of their homes. Overall, this photograph is a beautiful testament to the enduring connection between women and horses, showcasing the grace, strength, and timeless allure of these magnificent creatures.
