EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of a jockey applying Elliman Embrocati, an 1890s remedy for rheumatism, lumbago, and sprains. The photograph showcases a moment of tender care as the jockey gently massages the embrocation into the muscles of a young boy, who sits atop a rocking horse. The horse's rocking motion adds an element of playfulness to the scene, making it all the more endearing. The Elliman Embrocation, produced by Elliman & Co., was a popular topical medicine during the late 19th century. Its use was not limited to jockeys, but was also employed by individuals suffering from various musculoskeletal ailments. The embrocation was known for its warming and soothing properties, providing relief to sore muscles and joints. This historical photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the role of traditional medicines and the importance of care and comfort in addressing health concerns. The image also highlights the connection between the world of horses and the use of remedies like Elliman Embrocation, which were integral to the wellbeing of jockeys and horse riders alike. The vintage aesthetic of the photograph, with its soft focus and warm tones, adds to its charm and makes it a captivating addition to any collection. This image is not only a testament to the history of medicine but also a reminder of the enduring bond between humans and horses.
