An authentic black and white photograph of a racehorse with jockey from 1950. The photograph features a stamp of photographer J. Hájek with catalog number 902/13 and the date November 24, 1950. In the upper right, the horse's name Sámík and the jockey's name beginning with K. Vy are written (difficult to read), which is only partially legible due to the age and quality of the document. This is a valuable photographic document of Czechoslovak horse racing from the mid-20th century. J. Hájek was a Czechoslovak photographer who focused on racehorse photography and equestrian sports. Racehorse sports have a long tradition in Czechoslovakia and represent an important part of sports culture. The photograph of the horse Sámík with the jockey documents a specific sporting event and captures the atmosphere of horse racing. Handwritten names on the photograph increase its historical and documentary value. The photographer's stamp on the photograph represents authentic identification and provenance. Black and white execution is characteristic of photography from this period. The photograph bears traces of time that attest to its authenticity and long-term preservation. An ideal piece for collectors of Czechoslovak horse racing souvenirs, historians of equestrian sports and photographic artifacts. A valuable commemorative item with invaluable historical and collectible value. An exceptional artifact linking photographic documentation with sports history
