Printing Details
This is a card page from an album, with a large albumen print on either side. The card measures 35 × 26.5, and albumen prints are 26.5 × 21cm. Believed to date to the late 1890s.
On one side is a superb photographic study of a rather dashing / rakish looking Victorian jockey with obligatory moustache sitting in his jockey's outfit astride a fine black horse. A pencil inscription lower left reads "Eglantine and Robinson". On the reverse is an army orderly (with an even bigger moustache) holding the reins of a white horse, this image has (though it's slightly indecipherable) "Silver King & Abon [?]" written in pencil to the lower left corner.
Condition
The card has spotted foxing and marking, and is a little wavy, but the photographs remain in good condition and would look superb framed.
