EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures Sir Reginald Theodore Blomfield, the esteemed British architect and garden designer, in an unguarded moment of relaxation as he rides his cherished half-bred Irish hunting horse, Solomon, in 1902. Sir Reginald, who was knighted in 1911 for his services to architecture, is shown in casual attire, dressed for a day in the fields with the Romney Marsh Harriers. Solomon, a steadfast companion to Sir Reginald for over a decade, had only managed to unseat his rider three times during their long hunting partnership. The horse, who had become more like a beloved family pet than a working animal, seems to sense the bond between man and beast, gazing intently at Sir Reginald with a look of loyalty and devotion. The image captures the essence of the close relationship that can develop between a rider and their horse, as well as the timeless appeal of the English countryside and the tradition of hunting with hounds. Sir Reginald's passion for horses and the outdoors was a lifelong one, and this photograph offers a rare glimpse into his personal life beyond his illustrious career as an architect and garden designer.
