EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a jockey with his trusty companion, a small two-wheeled buggy known as a "sulky". Taken in Italy around 1970, the image transports us to an era where horse racing was not only a sport but also a way of life. The jockey's intense focus is evident as he guides the powerful horse through what seems to be an open road. The scene exudes elegance and grace, showcasing the harmonious relationship between man and animal. The horse, standing tall and proud, embodies strength and determination while adorned in its finest harness. The jockey's attire reflects both functionality and style - his sleek riding gear perfectly complementing the sulky's design. As we delve deeper into this snapshot of history, it becomes clear that this image represents more than just sports or transportation; it encapsulates the essence of human connection with nature. It reminds us of our innate desire for adventure and exploration on land. The photographer behind this masterpiece remains unidentified, leaving room for imagination to fill in the gaps. Perhaps they were drawn to capture this moment by their own fascination with horses or their admiration for those who dedicate their lives to equestrian pursuits. Regardless of its origins or purpose, this print from Alinari speaks volumes about our shared love for animals, our appreciation for timeless fashion choices, and our enduring fascination with methods of transportation throughout history. It serves as a reminder that even in today's fast-paced world dominated by technology, there is still beauty to be found in simpler forms of travel – ones that allow us to connect with nature on a deeper level.
