EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the legendary French jockey Georges Stern atop his trusted racehorse, Sunstar, in 1911. Known as the "King of the Derbies" and "King of the Jockeys". Stern's remarkable talent and skill are evident in this portrait. The image exudes a sense of power and determination as both man and horse stand poised for victory. Stern's partnership with Sunstar proved to be formidable, culminating in their triumphant win at the prestigious Epsom Derby. This iconic moment is forever immortalized within the pages of "British Sports and Sportsmen: Racing Coursing and Steeplechasing" edited by William Scarth Dixon. The photograph transports us back to early 20th-century Britain, where horse racing was not only a sport but also an integral part of country life. Amidst a backdrop of rolling hills, Stern radiates confidence while donning his vibrant racing colors. Although credited to an unknown creator, this image speaks volumes about the bond between man and animal that transcends language barriers or time periods. It serves as a testament to Georges Stern's legacy as one of France's most celebrated jockeys. As we gaze upon this monochrome masterpiece from Heritage Images, we are reminded of the enduring allure that sports hold over our collective imagination – capturing moments that define greatness across generations.
