Steve Donoghue (1884-1945): A Champion Jockey of the 1910s and 1920s in English Flat Racing This caricature portrays Steve Donoghue, a leading figure in English flat-race jockeying during the 1910s and 1920s. Donoghue's impressive career earned him the title of Champion Jockey an astounding ten times between 1914 and 1923. The image, dated 1926, showcases Donoghue in his element, wearing the distinctive pink silks of his sponsor, John Player, as he sits casually on a chair. The jockey's relaxed demeanor is juxtaposed with the intense focus in his eyes, a testament to his unwavering determination and skill on the racetrack. Donoghue's attire includes a crisp shirt, suspenders, and a bow tie, adding to the vintage charm of the photograph. He holds a cigarette in one hand and a playing card in the other, suggesting a moment of respite during a long day at the races. The cubist-inspired style of the caricature adds an intriguing layer of complexity to the image, making it a unique and captivating representation of a bygone era in the history of horseracing. The combination of the jockey's storied career, the vibrant colors of his silks, and the artistic flair of the caricature make this a must-have for any collection dedicated to the rich history of sports and racing.
