EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Vaulting: A good stride vault" takes us back in time to witness a remarkable display of athleticism. Captured by an English photographer from the 20th century, this image is part of a private collection that showcases the beauty and power of horses. The photograph depicts a stunning moment as a horse gracefully leaps into the air while its rider executes a flawless stride vault. The scene exudes history and nostalgia, transporting us to an era when vaulting was not only seen as an exercise but also as an art form. Originally featured as an illustration for Thomas McDowell's book "Vaulting" published in Oxford in 1932, this image perfectly captures the essence of agility and strength required in gymnastics on horseback. It serves as both inspiration and educational material for those interested in equestrian sports. Surrounded by nature's backdrop, this outdoor setting highlights the connection between humans, animals, and wildlife. The presence of other farm animals such as ponies, shire horses, racehorses, and stallions adds depth to the composition. While some may find it intriguing that nudity is mentioned within the caption due to historical context or artistic interpretation (as semi-nude riders are depicted), it should be noted that these details do not detract from appreciating the skillful execution displayed by both human and animal subjects. Overall, this extraordinary print encapsulates history through movement—a testament to mankind's enduring fascination with equine grace combined with physical
