EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment in time at the prestigious Epsom Racecourse during the 1932 Oaks Day meeting. The image features the prominent figures of the Aga Khan III and his son, Prince Aly Khan, both dressed to impress for the social and racing event of the season. The Aga Khan III, the spiritual leader and 48th Imam of the Shia Ismaili Muslims, was a well-known figure in both the horse racing world and high society. His elegant attire, complete with a top hat adorned with a white feather, exudes an air of sophistication and wealth. His son, Prince Aly Khan, or Ali Khan, was a playboy and a socialite, known for his dashing good looks and love of fast cars and horses. Wearing a similar top hat, but with a more casual and relaxed expression, he stands beside his father, showcasing the striking resemblance between the two. The backdrop of the lush greenery and grandstands of Epsom Racecourse adds to the sense of history and tradition, making this photograph a fascinating glimpse into the past. The Oaks Day meeting was a significant event in the racing calendar, and this image captures the essence of the social and racing scene during that era. This portrait of the Aga Khan III and Prince Aly Khan at Epsom in 1932 is a testament to the rich history of horseracing and the social elite of the time. It provides a unique insight into the lives of these influential figures and the world they inhabited.
