EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite 18th century silver spur with a spiked rowel, originating from South America. Against a pristine white background, the buckle of this antique masterpiece gleams under the studio lights, transporting us back to a bygone era. The horizontal composition and high angle view allow us to appreciate every intricate detail of this historical artifact. The presence of animal themes in this image raises questions about the role of cruelty and assistance in the past. This single object speaks volumes about the riding tack used during that time period, shedding light on how horses were controlled and guided. The spiked rowel adds an intriguing element to the piece, hinting at its potential use as both a tool for control and perhaps even as a symbol of power. Jerry Young's skillful photography captures not only the physical beauty but also evokes curiosity about its cultural significance. With no people present in the frame, we are left to imagine who might have owned or worn such an elaborate spur centuries ago. This Universal Images Group (UIG) print is truly a testament to our fascination with history and our desire to understand different cultures through their artifacts. Whether displayed in a museum or cherished by collectors, this photograph invites us into an exploration of South American equestrian traditions while reminding us of humanity's complex relationship with animals throughout time.
