EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the picturesque region of Bordeaux, France, in the year 1896, showcases an extraordinary sight: a horse adorned with a straw hat. The image, available through Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us back in time to an era when horses were an integral part of daily life and their caretakers went to great lengths to ensure their comfort and protection. The horse, with its powerful build and regal demeanor, wears the sunhat not as a fashion statement, but as a practical measure against the harsh sun. The hat, made of natural straw, features two holes skillfully cut out for the horse's ears, allowing for unobstructed hearing and temperature regulation. The bridle and blinkers are also visible, indicating that this horse was likely used for transportation or work. The historical significance of this photograph lies in its depiction of a unique method of sun protection for horses, which was not commonly practiced in the late 19th century. This image serves as a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of horse owners during that era, who went above and beyond to ensure the well-being of their animals. The sun-kissed landscape in the background, with its lush greenery and clear blue sky, further emphasizes the idyllic setting of this scene. This photograph is not only an intriguing glimpse into the past, but also a beautiful work of art that captures the essence of a bygone era. In conclusion, this photograph of a horse wearing a straw hat in Bordeaux, France, in 1896, is a fascinating historical artifact that showcases the unique relationship between humans and horses, as well as the resourcefulness and care that was taken to ensure their well-being during that time. It is a must-see for history enthusiasts, animal lovers, and anyone with an appreciation for the beauty and charm of the past.
