Beschreibung

Nice group of large photographs of horse races held at Delaware Park in 1952-3. 9 prints measuring 8"x10" (plus one duplicate), unmarked, along with eleven prints measuring 11" x 14" (plus one duplicate), some with markings. Photos are all generally curled (they had likely been rolled up for decades), but show only minimal edge creasing and no major wear. The smaller photographs mostly depict cameramen and show the "behind the scenes" of capturing horse racing on film, while the larger photographs (a few of which are stamped "Official Delaware Park Photograph") are generally action shots of horses mid-race. While some of these are simply captioned "1952" on the verso, one of them is captioned "Jamie K. (#3) at 1/4 pole winning "Leonard Richard" Stakes June 20th, 1953." Apart from this, there are few markings to indicate which exact races these were. There are two identical prints clearly made for advertising purposes, which have five inset photos of horses with their jockeys. Those prints advertise a race entitled the New Castle Handicap, the "World's Richest Classic for Fillies and Mares." This race is still run, and now called the Delaware Handicap. Altogether a nice group of large photographs, which could be retained for research purposes, or be nicely framed. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 7930
