EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the esteemed British soldier, Sir Frederick, 1st Earl Roberts, on his beloved white Arab horse Vonolel. Taken around 1898 and published in 1901 as part of "The Life and Deeds of Earl Roberts" this portrait showcases the deep bond between man and animal. Earl Roberts acquired Vonolel at a tender age of four in 1877, forging an inseparable connection that lasted until the horse's untimely demise in 1899. The photograph immortalizes their partnership during the Battle of Kandahar in Afghanistan in 1880 when Roberts rode Vonolel with unwavering courage. As a distinguished field marshal and commander-in-chief, Lord Roberts left an indelible mark on British military history. His numerous medals attest to his exceptional leadership skills and bravery on the battlefield. This image serves as a testament to his remarkable career. Captured by Chancellor, this monochromatic masterpiece exudes timeless elegance while highlighting both man and beast's noble stature. The composition expertly frames Earl Roberts astride Vonolel, showcasing their regal presence against a backdrop that hints at historical significance. This print not only pays homage to one of Britain's most revered military figures but also encapsulates the enduring bond between humans and animals throughout history. It invites us to reflect upon the profound connections we form with our loyal companions while reminding us of our shared heritage steeped in honor, courage, and sacrifice.
