EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the esteemed Mr. Wilfrid Blunt, a renowned poet and writer, alongside his wife Lady Anna Blunt (nee King Noel), who holds the distinction of being the first European woman to venture into the Middle East. The couple stands proudly in front of one of their Arab horses, which played an instrumental role in shaping today's thoroughbred Arabian horse lineage. Engraved by G. Vuillier and published in 1882 as part of Lady Anna Blunt's narrative "Pelerinage au Nedjed, Cradle of the Arab Race" this image captures a moment frozen in time. Dressed in a travel suit that exudes elegance and practicality, Lady Anna epitomizes courage and curiosity as she explores uncharted territories. The connection between Mr. Wilfrid Blunt, Lady Anna Blunt, and their beloved Arab horses is palpable through this photograph. It serves as a testament to their passion for preserving pure bloodlines while unraveling the mysteries surrounding Arabian culture. Leonard de Selva skillfully captured this historical moment with finesse and artistry. Through his lens, we are transported back to an era when exploration was rife with both excitement and trepidation. As we gaze upon this remarkable portrait print from Fine Art Finder's Selva Collection, we are reminded not only of these extraordinary individuals but also of their significant contributions to literature, equestrian heritage, and cultural understanding between Europe and the Middle East.
