EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the thrilling world of horse racing in Stratford-on-Avon on a sunny day, precisely on 6 May 1933. A vintage GWR poster, masterfully produced by Stafford & Co Ltd in Nottingham, brings this momentous event to life. The Great Western Railway (GWR) proudly showcases their connection with this exhilarating sport as horses elegantly leap over a formidable fence during a steeplechase. The atmosphere is electric as spectators eagerly watch from the sidelines, their eyes fixed on the action unfolding before them. A skilled jockey guides his magnificent steed through the air with grace and precision, demonstrating an extraordinary bond between man and horse. The sheer determination etched onto their faces reveals the intensity of this high-stakes competition. The lush green surroundings of Stratford-on-Avon provide a picturesque backdrop for this enthralling spectacle. Vibrant hedges line the course, adding an element of challenge and beauty to each jump. This image captures not only the excitement of horse racing but also pays homage to nature's role in shaping these incredible sporting moments. Preserved within the National Railway Museum's Pictorial Collection, this timeless photograph invites us to relish in a bygone era where tradition met innovation and athleticism reigned supreme. It serves as a testament to both GWR's commitment to promoting local events and its dedication towards capturing unforgettable moments that continue to captivate audiences even today
