EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment frozen in time at the Linwood riding club's Gymkhana event held at Fryern Court, nestled in the picturesque landscape of Fordingbridge, New Forest. The year is 1932, and amidst the backdrop of this 14th-century friary turned farmhouse, an air of elegance and bohemian charm fills the atmosphere. In the foreground stands Captain and Mrs Carthew Yorstoun, exuding grace as they oversee the proceedings with their keen eyes. Accompanying them is none other than Mr Augustus John himself, a renowned post-impressionist artist associated with the Bloomsbury Set. His presence adds an artistic flair to this already enchanting scene. The image also showcases a diverse group of spectators who have gathered to witness this thrilling equestrian event. Their faces filled with anticipation as they watch riders navigate through various obstacles during the Gymkhana competition. Adding further intrigue are glimpses of vintage cars parked nearby, hinting at a bygone era when automobiles were still considered luxurious novelties. This remarkable photograph transports us back to an era between two world wars when society was undergoing significant changes. It encapsulates not only a sporting event but also serves as a window into history - capturing moments that would otherwise be lost forever
