EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by George Greenwell, we are transported back to the bustling streets of London in December 1947. The image captures a poignant moment outside the site of a cart and van horse auction on New Kent Road. A man, dressed in his finest attire, stands proudly beside his trusty steed as they await their turn at the sale. The scene is alive with anticipation and activity as other potential buyers mill about, examining the horses up for auction. The man's hat sits jauntily atop his head, shielding him from the winter chill while adding an air of sophistication to his appearance. His clothing suggests that he is no ordinary passerby but rather someone deeply connected to these magnificent creatures. The horse itself exudes strength and grace, its powerful muscles visible beneath its sleek coat. Its eyes convey a sense of loyalty and companionship towards its owner, who holds a whip gently in one hand - not as a tool of dominance but rather as a symbol of their shared journey together. This photograph encapsulates not only an era when horse-drawn transport still played an integral role in daily life but also highlights the deep bond between humans and animals. It serves as a reminder that amidst the hustle and bustle of city life, there were moments like these where individuals found solace and connection with nature's noblest creatures.
