The Water Jump,
EDITORS COMMENTS
an iconic photograph capturing the thrill and excitement of horse racing in America during the late 19th century, is a breathtaking image from Mary Evans Prints Online. This print, estimated to date back to 1884, showcases the raw power and agility of both horse and jockey as they fearlessly leap over a substantial water obstacle during a steeplechase race. The image is a testament to the skill and determination of the jockey, who expertly guides his horse through the air, poised in mid-jump. The horse, muscles taut and eyes focused, seems to defy gravity as it clears the watery hurdle. The water itself, shimmering in the sunlight, adds an element of unpredictability and danger to the scene, making the successful jump all the more impressive. Steeplechase racing, a popular equestrian sport in America during this era, required both horse and rider to navigate a challenging course filled with various obstacles, including water jumps, stone walls, and logs. The Water Jump photograph encapsulates the essence of this thrilling sport, with its focus on speed, agility, and the unbreakable bond between horse and rider. The photograph's composition, with the water jump taking center stage, expertly draws the viewer's attention to the action at hand. The surrounding landscape, dotted with trees and spectators, adds depth and context to the scene, further emphasizing the sense of excitement and energy that permeates the image. In summary, The Water Jump is a captivating and evocative photograph that transports us back in time to experience the raw power, skill, and excitement of horse racing in America during the late 1800s. This iconic image is a must-have for any collection devoted to the history of horse racing or the art of photography.
