EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the elegance and grace of a lady riding sidesaddle in the 1870s. The horse, belonging to the late Earl of Pembroke, stands calmly under the rider, its coat glistening in the sunlight. The lady, dressed in the height of fashion for the time, wears a large hat adorned with a ribbon and feathers, and holds a crop in her hand, ready to encourage the horse forward. The sidesaddle, with its high cantle and horn, is a testament to the traditional riding style of the era. The rider's posture is poised and confident, her legs tucked in securely to maintain balance. The image exudes an air of refinement and leisure, suggesting a day out riding in the countryside as a pastime for the wealthy and well-connected. The photograph is a beautiful example of the sporting and social customs of the late 19th century. It also serves as a reminder of the importance of horses in the lives of the aristocracy, both as symbols of status and as practical transportation. The late Earl of Pembroke's horse, with its well-groomed coat and obedient demeanor, is a fitting companion for the lady rider, adding to the overall sense of elegance and sophistication in the scene. The photograph, taken in the 1870s, is a precious record of a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the past and the traditions of a time when riding sidesaddle was a popular and fashionable pursuit for the ladies of the aristocracy.
