Description
Skewbald Ride captures a remarkable moment from 1957 New Orleans, where ten-year-old Corinne Morrison, daughter of Mayor Delesseps Story Morrison and descendant of Ferdinand de Lesseps who engineered the Suez Canal, rides her skewbald horse affectionately named 'Short Snort' through the verdant landscapes of Audubon Park. Slim Aarons documented this scene with his signature eye for American heritage, freezing a moment of youthful freedom against the backdrop of one of the South's most storied cities. The composition reveals the simple pleasures of childhood in mid-century America, where a young girl and her beloved horse could roam freely through manicured parkland.
