Man op een paard in galop before 1889

This black and white photograph, "Man op een paard in galop", by Alexander Nicol, depicts a man riding a horse at a gallop, most likely from the 19th Century. The small size and grainy quality of the image suggest that this was likely a printed reproduction from an earlier source and likely intended for a book on horsemanship. The horse's movement is captured in a snapshot-like manner, with its legs outstretched. It's a dynamic image that emphasizes the skill and athleticism of both horse and rider. The image itself offers a glimpse into early photography, showcasing the technical challenges of capturing motion in the late 19th Century.
