Charlie Wood, 1886 - A Champion Jockey's Legacy
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures the essence of Charles Wood, a renowned British jockey who left an indelible mark on horse racing history. Created by artist Liborio Prosperi in 1886, this chromolithograph from Vanity Fair showcases the charismatic and determined profile of Wood. Born in 1856 and passing away in 1945, Wood's career was nothing short of extraordinary. With an impressive record of 11 Classic victories throughout his illustrious journey, he solidified his status as one of the greatest jockeys of his time. In 1887, he claimed the title of Champion Jockey with an astounding tally of 151 winners. However, it was in 1897 that Wood achieved legendary status by winning the prestigious Triple Crown aboard Galtee More. Triumphing at the esteemed races - the 2000 Guineas, Derby, and St Leger - showcased his exceptional skill and cemented his place among sporting icons. Dressed impeccably in traditional jockey attire with vibrant silks adorning him against a backdrop reminiscent of Victorian England; this caricature-like portrayal encapsulates both Wood's sporting prowess and unique personality. His confident gaze is complemented by a whip held firmly in hand while seated atop a saddle. Liborio Prosperi masterfully brings to life this snapshot from history through vivid colors and intricate details. This remarkable print serves as a testament to Charles Wood's enduring legacy as
