The House of Commons Point-to-Point Steeplechase near Rugby; Mr Elliott Lees wins on Damon, 1890
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a thrilling moment in British sporting history. Taken during the House of Commons Point-to-Point Steeplechase near Rugby in 1890, it showcases the intense horse race that had spectators on the edge of their seats. In this remarkable image, we see Mr Elliott Lees skillfully guiding his magnificent steed, Damon, to victory. The determination etched on both man and horse's faces is palpable as they soar over a formidable jump with grace and precision. The power and elegance displayed by these majestic creatures are truly awe-inspiring. The attire worn by the riders adds an air of sophistication to this snapshot from the past. Dressed in traditional Victorian riding gear, Mr Elliott Lees embodies the spirit of a true sportsman as he conquers each obstacle along the course. Published in "The Graphic" an illustrated weekly newspaper at that time, this photograph offers us a glimpse into not only a historic equestrian event but also into nineteenth-century fashion and culture. It serves as a testament to Britain's rich heritage in horseracing and its enduring love affair with this exhilarating sport. As we admire this iconic image captured by an unknown photographer from over a century ago, we cannot help but be transported back to that moment when Mr Elliott Lees emerged victorious amidst cheers from adoring fans.
