Boots Cane Fronted Jockey Martin Overcoat Pocket Possibly Silks Vanity Velvet Wears 1907
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of the Edwardian era in American horse racing, featuring the renowned jockey John Henry Martin in 1907. Dressed in the traditional attire of the time, Martin dons top boots, a jockey cap, and over his silks, a grey overcoat with a possibly fly-fronted design and a velvet collar. The overcoat boasts a large pocket, adding an air of practicality and functionality to the elegant ensemble. Martin's posture exudes confidence and focus, as he holds a cane in one hand, a sign of both vanity and the tradition of jockeys carrying a walking stick. The jockey cap, with its distinctive crease and ribbon, sits atop his head, securing his silks in place. The silks, adorned with vibrant colors and intricate patterns, represent the rider's affiliation with a particular racing stable or owner. The photograph offers a glimpse into the world of horse racing during the early 1900s, a time when country clothes and dress codes held significant importance. The combination of the jockey's practical attire and the elegant silks reflects the balance between the physical demands of the sport and the importance of presentation and tradition. This image, brought to us by Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a fascinating look into the history of horse racing and the iconic figures that shaped its legacy.
