EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, Zorzis George Michalinos, a Greek-born racehorse owner, is seen intently focusing on the telephone call he is receiving in his elegant study. The year is 1938, and the 1930s racing scene is in full swing. The room is adorned with the opulence of the era, with richly textured wallpaper, ornate wood paneling, and a grand fireplace. The atmosphere is one of quiet intensity, as Michalinos awaits news that could potentially make or break his day. Michalinos, dressed in a sharp suit and tie, sits at a large wooden desk, surrounded by leather-bound books and racing memorabilia. The sunlight filters in through the tall windows, casting a warm glow over the scene. The telephone, a symbol of communication and connection, is the only modern technology in the room, a testament to the time period. George Michalinos was a prominent figure in the racing world, known for his love and dedication to the sport. Born in Greece, he made his fortune in business before turning his attention to horse racing. He quickly became a successful owner, with a string of top-performing horses and numerous victories under his belt. This photograph captures a moment of anticipation and focus, as Michalinos listens intently for news from the racetrack. The image is a snapshot of a bygone era, when the thrill of horse racing was a major social and cultural phenomenon, and the telephone was the fastest way to receive important information. It is a reminder of the passion and dedication that drives individuals to pursue their dreams, no matter the era or circumstances.
