EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Lamplighter, a racehorse foaled in 1823. The image, captured by an English School artist in the 19th century, is part of a private collection. Lamplighter's beauty and grace are beautifully portrayed in this historic photograph. The horse's powerful physique is evident as it gallops with incredible speed and agility. Its mane flows freely behind it, adding to the sense of motion captured in this snapshot from history. Lamplighter's determination and strength are palpable, making it clear why he was celebrated as one of the great racehorses of his time. This particular illustration was originally created for "Portraits of Celebrated Racehorses" by Thomas Henry Taunton, published in 1887. It serves as a testament to Lamplighter's legacy within the world of horse racing during that era. The timeless appeal of this photograph lies not only in its depiction of an exceptional animal but also in its historical significance. It offers us a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate both the artistry involved in capturing such moments and the rich heritage associated with equestrian sports. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece through their Fine Art Finder collection, ensuring that future generations can continue to admire and be inspired by Lamplighter's extraordinary athleticism.
