EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print showcases two renowned works of Sir Alfred James Munnings R.A. (1878-1959), a celebrated British artist known for his masterful depictions of horses and country life. On the left, The Right Hon. The Earl of Birkenhead is depicted on his Roan Weight-Carrier, an old war veteran that Lord Birkenhead had pensioned off. The Earl now spends his time at Charlton, Banbury, enjoying his retirement from public life. The Earl's horse, with its proud posture and weary expression, reflects the history and character of this noble animal. On the right, Munnings' painting "The Drummer of His Majesty's 1st Life Guards" is displayed, which was exhibited at the prestigious Royal Academy in 1922. This powerful work captures the raw energy and movement of the horse and its rider, with the drummer's determined gaze and the horse's muscular form in mid-gallop. The inset sketches on the lower left-hand page provide an intriguing glimpse into the artistic process behind these masterpieces. They show Munnings' sketches and his rebuttal to certain letters received, claiming that the horses' legs were placed in an impossible position. Munnings' passion for accuracy and his commitment to capturing the true essence of his subjects are evident in these sketches, further highlighting his exceptional talent and dedication to his craft.
