EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, sourced from Mary Evans Picture Library, showcases an accomplished equestrienne gracefully seated in the traditional side-saddle, known as Lady's Seat, during a riding course in the late 19th century. The historical image, dated 1857, transports us back in time to an era when riding side-saddle was the epitome of elegance and refinement for women. The side-saddle, a distinctive saddle design, was specifically created for female riders to enable them to ride sideways, with one leg hanging down the horse's left flank. This unique seating position allowed women to maintain their dresses and skirts while riding, making it a popular choice for the upper classes. The equestrienne in the photograph exudes confidence and poise as she rides with ease, her posture perfected through years of practice. Her side-saddle, adorned with intricate leatherwork and elegant design elements, complements her riding attire and adds to the overall allure of the scene. The riding course, with its lush greenery and picturesque backdrop, further emphasizes the serene and idyllic atmosphere of the moment. This photograph provides a fascinating glimpse into the history of riding and the role of women in equestrian culture during the Victorian era. The side-saddle, with its rich heritage and timeless appeal, continues to be cherished by riders and collectors alike, making this photograph a must-have for any equestrian-themed collection or display.
