EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "The Derby 1923" by renowned English artist Cecil Aldin, transports us back in time to the grandeur and excitement of the Epsom Derby in 1923. The image captures the moment just before the race begins, as the horses and jockeys line up at the starting post. In the foreground, Papyrus, owned by Mr. B. Irish and ridden by Steve Donoghue, is seen leaving the post, ready to take on the competition. Among the other horses and their distinguished owners lining up for the race are Lord Astor's Bold and Bad (numbers 2 and 3), Sir Abe Bailey's Apron (number 3), Lord Derby's Pharos (number 4), and Mr. J. Joel's My Lord (number 5). The Duke of Westminster's horses, Twelve Pointer (number 13) and Hurry Off (number 14), are also present, as are Lord Woolavington's Town Guard (number 16), Mr. J. White's Safety First (number 15), Mr. Foxhall Keene's Topboot (number 17), and Mr. H. C. Sutton's Conova (number 20). This historic photograph, dated 1926, offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of horse racing during the early 20th century. With the horses and jockeys poised for the start of the race, the tension in the air is palpable. The Derby was famously won by Papyrus, and this image serves as a testament to the thrill and excitement of the event. Cecil Aldin's masterful brushstrokes bring the scene to life, making it a must-have for any collection of historical sports art.
