EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Elis, a racehorse foaled in 1833. The image, captured by an English School photographer in the 19th century, is part of a private collection. It exudes history and nostalgia as it transports us back to a time when horse racing was at its peak. Elis stands tall and majestic, embodying the grace and power of these magnificent creatures. His muscular physique suggests his prowess on the racetrack, while his intense gaze hints at his competitive spirit. This photograph was originally featured in "Portraits of Celebrated Racehorses" by Thomas Henry Taunton, Volume III. The monochromatic tones add depth and texture to the image, emphasizing every detail from Elis' sleek coat to the dirt kicked up by his hooves as he gallops with incredible speed. The contrast between light and shadow further enhances the drama of this moment frozen in time. As we admire this remarkable piece of equestrian history, we are reminded of the profound bond between humans and animals throughout centuries. Horses like Elis have played an integral role not only in sports but also in transportation, agriculture, and even warfare. Bridgeman Images has preserved this extraordinary snapshot for us to appreciate today—a testament to their commitment to sharing art that captures our imagination and connects us with our past.
