EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Andover, a remarkable racehorse foaled in 1851. The image, captured by an anonymous English School photographer from the 19th century, is part of a private collection. It was originally featured as an illustration in Thomas Henry Taunton's book "Portraits of Celebrated Racehorses" specifically in Volume IV covering the period from 1842 to 1870. Andover's powerful presence and grace are beautifully portrayed in this photograph, highlighting his athletic prowess and undeniable beauty. As one gazes at the image, it transports us back to a time when horse racing was not only a sport but also a significant part of history. The monochromatic tones add depth and texture to the picture while emphasizing its historical significance. This stunning portrayal captures Andover mid-stride during what appears to be a thrilling race. His muscular physique exudes strength and determination as he gallops with incredible speed. Beyond being just another farm animal or livestock, Andover represents the epitome of equine excellence. This print serves as both an homage to his legacy and a testament to the artistry involved in capturing such moments on film. Bridgeman Images has preserved this extraordinary piece of history through their fine art finder platform, allowing enthusiasts worldwide to appreciate Andover's contribution to the world of horse racing without commercial intentions.
