EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the early 19th century, capturing a moment in British sporting history. The image showcases Rockingham, a legendary British Thoroughbred racehorse and sire who achieved fame by triumphing in the prestigious St Leger Stakes of 1833. The photograph portrays an outdoor scene filled with energy and anticipation. Two men stand beside Rockingham, one of whom is likely his proud owner. Dressed in traditional attire of the era, they exude a sense of elegance and sophistication with their top hats and well-tailored clothing. Rockingham himself stands tall and majestic, embodying strength and grace as he gazes into the distance. His sleek coat shines under the sunlight, emphasizing his status as a prized stallion. This image not only captures an important moment in horse racing history but also provides us with a glimpse into life during this period in Britain. It serves as a testament to the enduring popularity of equestrian sports among both aristocrats and commoners alike. Preserved through time by William Allen Shepherd's lens, this monochrome masterpiece allows us to appreciate the beauty of Rockingham's form while immersing ourselves in the rich heritage surrounding British sportsmanship at its finest.
