EDITORS COMMENTS
Henry Bunbury's depiction of Geoffrey Gambado, a Regency-era gentleman, gracefully riding his thoroughbred steed is a captivating image from the annals of horsemanship. The hand-coloured copperplate engraving, created by Thomas Rowlandson after Bunbury's original illustration, published in 1809, offers a glimpse into the world of horse riding during that era. Geoffrey Gambado, with his elegant wig and refined attire, is in the midst of a gallop, his horse's mane and tail streaming behind them. The horse's powerful muscles ripple as it strides forward, its bit and bridle gleaming in the sun. The rider's confident posture, with one hand on the reins and the other casually holding a cudgel, exudes the air of a seasoned horseman. In the background, a stagecoach laden with passengers rumbles along, while a man beats a nag to keep it moving. The contrast between the leisurely horseback ride and the hurried pace of the stagecoach adds depth to the scene, emphasizing the freedom and enjoyment that comes with horse riding. Bunbury's Academy for Grown Horsemen, as depicted in this engraving, was a popular institution for those seeking to improve their horsemanship skills. The Annals of Horsemanship, the publication that featured this illustration, was a testament to the enduring fascination with horses and riding during the Regency period. This image, with its intricate details and vivid colours, is a delightful reminder of a bygone era, where horse riding was not just a means of transportation but a cherished pastime and a symbol of status and refinement.
