EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in the midst of an exhilarating horse racing event, this vintage print takes us back to the vibrant atmosphere of Christchurch Point to Point at Oddington on 27th February 1930. The focal point of the image is none other than Sir John and Lady Carew-Pole, prominent figures in high society during the interwar period. Sporting a distinguished beard and moustache, Sir John exudes elegance in his tailored suit and cap, while Lady Carew-Pole radiates sophistication with her fur stole and stylish hat. Surrounded by a lively crowd adorned in fashionable attire from the thirties, this snapshot showcases the diverse mix of aristocrats and amateur riders who frequented these prestigious races. Jockeys clad in colorful jackets prepare their horses for thrilling competitions that captivated both enthusiasts and socialites alike. The photograph also captures glimpses of societal norms prevalent at the time - women elegantly dressed in skirts and heels, showcasing their refined taste despite being amidst a sporting event. A loyal dog stands faithfully beside its owner, adding an endearing touch to this scene. Preserved by Between The Wars' collection, this remarkable print not only offers a glimpse into an era defined by its unique fashion choices but also serves as a testament to the enduring allure of horse racing as an activity cherished by all walks of life.
