EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of a bygone era in British sports history. Titled "Pretty Polly, 1901-1931" and taken in 1911, this print showcases the legendary racehorse alongside her trainer Major Eustace Loder. The image transports us to a picturesque countryside setting, where lush fields provide the backdrop for this remarkable duo. Pretty Polly, a beautiful thoroughbred filly known for her exceptional racing abilities, stands tall and proud next to her devoted trainer. Their connection is palpable as they pose for the camera. The monochrome tones add an air of timelessness to the scene, evoking nostalgia for early 20th-century Britain. The attention to detail captured by photographer Peter Valentine Purcell Gilpin highlights both the grace of Pretty Polly and the expertise of Major Eustace Loder. This print originates from "British Sports and Sportsmen Part 1" published in London in 1911. It serves as a testament to not only their individual achievements but also their contribution to British horse racing history. As we gaze upon this piece of artistry, we are reminded of the profound bond between man and animal that transcends time and leaves an indelible mark on our cultural heritage.
