EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken on the 4th of August, 1925, we are transported back in time to witness a unique event at Thorp near Wakefield, Yorkshire. The image captures the essence of an era when pit boy jockeys were an integral part of coal mining communities. As we gaze upon the print by E. Bacon from Fine Art Storehouse, our eyes are drawn to a group of young boys making their way towards the paddock. Dressed in their racing silks and clutching onto their reins with determination, these courageous youngsters exude both excitement and responsibility. The fence that separates them from the spectators serves as a poignant reminder of the challenges they face daily in their lives underground. Yet here they stand tall, ready to showcase their skills as jockeys at the Pit Pony Parade and race meeting. This snapshot freezes a moment in time where youth meets tradition; where dreams intertwine with harsh realities. It encapsulates not only a sporting event but also symbolizes resilience and camaraderie within these tight-knit communities. Emanating nostalgia through its monochromatic tones, this print transports us back to an era long gone but never forgotten – reminding us of those who worked tirelessly beneath our feet while still finding joy amidst adversity. With every glance at this remarkable piece by E. Bacon, we are reminded of the indomitable spirit that resides within each individual captured within its frame - forever etched into history's tapestry
