EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Crocks, c. 1924" by Robert Polhill Bevan, takes us back in time to a bustling horse market in early 20th century England. The image showcases a vibrant scene filled with horses, buyers, sellers, and their owners parading around the yard. The atmosphere is charged with anticipation as dealers and traders negotiate deals while potential buyers carefully inspect the magnificent animals on display. A groom wearing a bowler hat stands nearby, ensuring that each horse looks its best for prospective customers. The monochrome effect adds an air of nostalgia to the photograph, enhancing our connection to this bygone era. The stables in the background serve as a reminder of the daily routines and hard work involved in caring for these majestic creatures. "Crocks" not only captures a moment frozen in time but also offers us a glimpse into the rich history of British equestrian culture. This remarkable piece is part of Yale Center for British Art's prestigious Paul Mellon Collection, showcasing its significance within the art world. As we admire this extraordinary artwork from Bevan's collection, we are transported back to an era when horse trading was at its peak – where tradition met commerce amidst an array of fascinating characters who played their part in shaping Britain's equine heritage.
