EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Touchstone, 1831-1861" from the renowned collection British Sports and Sportsmen Part 1, takes us back to a bygone era of equestrian excellence. The photograph captures the essence of horse racing in 19th century Britain with its rich historical significance. In this remarkable image, we see a distinguished gentleman atop a magnificent stallion named Touchstone. The jockey's firm grip on the reins reflects his mastery over the powerful thoroughbred as they prepare for an exhilarating race. The intensity in their eyes suggests that victory is within reach. The print showcases not only the thrill of sport but also highlights the artistry involved in capturing such moments through literature and visual representation. It serves as a testament to how deeply ingrained horse racing was in British culture during this period. Touchstone himself holds great importance in racing history, having won prestigious races like St Leger Stakes, Doncaster Cup, and Ascot Gold Cup under skilled trainers John Scott and Robert Grosvenor, who are mentioned alongside him. This further emphasizes his status as one of the most celebrated racehorses of his time. As we admire this vintage masterpiece brought to life by The Print Collector29 from London's esteemed British Sports and Sportsmen publication in 1911, we are transported back to an era where horse racing reigned supreme among sports enthusiasts across Britain.
