EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by H.L. Oakley, titled "Despite this motor age," we are transported back in time to an era where horses reigned supreme in the world of sporting activities. The silhouettes of three distinct horse-riding events grace the top of the image, each one evoking a sense of tradition, elegance, and excitement. Starting from the left, we see the silhouette of a group of people gathered around a grand, red-and-white striped post. This is the scene of the Derby, one of the most prestigious horse races in the world. Horses and jockeys dressed in their racing silks line up at the starting gate, ready to compete in this iconic event. Moving to the right, we come across the International Horse Show. Here, riders in their finest jackets and jodhpurs are seen jumping over a high fence, their horses' coats glistening in the sun. The silhouette of a large marquee in the background suggests the grandeur and sophistication of this equestrian event. Finally, on the far right, we see the silhouette of the Royal Ascot racecourse. The silhouette of King George V's coronation coat of arms is visible at the top, signifying the royal connection of this historic event. Horses and riders dressed in their traditional costumes, complete with top hats and tails, make their way towards the finish line. This stunning print, brought to us by Mary Evans Prints Online, captures the essence of horseback riding events that have stood the test of time, despite the advent of the motor age. Whether it's the thrill of the Derby, the elegance of the International Horse Show, or the tradition of Royal Ascot, these silhouettes remind us of the enduring appeal of horse sports and the rich history they represent.
