EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of horse racing in 1939, featuring Jockey C. Richards as he triumphantly rides Couvert to victory in the prestigious Royal Hunt Cup. The image is part of a series called "Racehorses & Jockeys" and was published by W. D. & H. O. Wills in Bristol. In this portrait-style photograph, we see a determined-looking Richards wearing his jockey cap and traditional racing silks adorned with bold stripes. His connection with the magnificent bay horse is evident as they gracefully gallop across the lush green grass of the racetrack. The atmosphere surrounding this momentous event can be felt through the presence of other people dressed in period clothing, adding to the sense of excitement and anticipation that filled racecourses during that era. The sepia-toned print beautifully captures every detail, from Richards' intense gaze to Couvert's powerful stride. It transports us back to a time when horse racing was not only a sport but also an integral part of social life. This remarkable piece serves as a testament to both sporting prowess and artistic craftsmanship, showcasing why it has become such an iconic representation of 20th-century horse racing history.
