EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print showcases "Barb, 1722 (1938)", a magnificent horse breed originating from the Barbary Coast of North Africa. Known for their remarkable endurance and spirited nature, Barbs have long been admired for their strength and resilience. This particular image is taken from the renowned book "Thoroughbred Racing Stock" by Lady Wentworth, published in London in 1938. In this monochrome engraving, we see a distinguished man leading Barb through an unidentified location on the African continent. The photograph captures both the grace of the horse and the confidence of its handler. The man's firm grip on the bridle reflects his expertise in handling such a powerful creature. Transporting us back to the eighteenth century, this image evokes a sense of timelessness as it combines elements from both past and present eras. It serves as a reminder that even amidst technological advancements, certain traditions endure throughout centuries. This print holds historical significance not only due to its depiction of an exquisite animal but also because it was created by Baroness Judith Blunt Lytton, commonly known as Lady Wentworth. As an esteemed authority on bloodstock and horse breeding, her work has made an indelible mark on equestrian history. Through this visual representation captured in intricate detail by Lady Wentworth herself, we are transported into a world where horses like Barb were revered for their beauty and prowess – forever immortalized within these pages.
