EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating photo print, titled "Persimmon, 1911" takes us back to a bygone era of British sportsmanship. This remarkable image is extracted from the esteemed publication "British Sports and Sportsmen Part 1" released in London in 1911. The picture captures an exhilarating outdoor scene featuring two men, one being a jockey atop a magnificent thoroughbred horse named Persimmon. The photograph exudes the essence of early 20th-century horse racing culture in Britain. The jockey's intense focus and determination are palpable as he prepares for an upcoming race. Beside him stands the proud owner of Persimmon, both eagerly anticipating their moment on the racetrack. This monochrome portrait carries historical significance beyond its sporting context. It showcases prominent figures such as King Edward VII, known as Richard within racing circles, who was not only an avid supporter but also considered the king of Great Britain and Ireland during that time period. Prince Edward (later known as King Edward VIII) can also be seen in this snapshot alongside his father. Preserved by The Print Collector29 at Heritage Images, this print holds immense artistic value due to its composition and subject matter. It immortalizes a pivotal moment in British history when sportsmanship intertwined with royalty and literature converged with equestrian pursuits.
