EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from 1924, we witness the anticipation and excitement surrounding one of the most prestigious horse races in history. Titled "The Derby favourite leaves for Epsom" the image showcases Salmon Trout, a magnificent racehorse owned by none other than the Aga Khan himself. As we delve into the scene, our eyes are drawn to Salmon Trout standing tall inside a railway carriage at Great Shefford station in Berkshire. The horse's sleek physique is accentuated by its elegant blanket, adding an air of regality to its already majestic presence. Surrounded by straw bedding, it becomes evident that every detail has been meticulously arranged to ensure utmost comfort during this important journey. Transported back to a time when rail travel was at its zenith, we can almost feel the vibrations of the locomotive as it prepares to whisk Salmon Trout away towards Epsom. The atmosphere is palpable; whispers of anticipation fill the air as spectators eagerly await his arrival on race day. This photograph encapsulates not only a moment frozen in time but also represents an era where horse racing reigned supreme as both a sport and spectacle. It serves as a reminder of how these magnificent creatures captivated hearts and minds alike with their power and grace. Preserved through monochrome imagery, this twentieth-century gem allows us to relive history while marveling at the timeless beauty captured within its frame.
