Another Photo of *Aldebar(an) c. 1929
Both below are courtesy of The Toronto Star Archives and have been provided by the Special Collections Department of the Toronto Public Library.
Either that was a very tall man, or *Aldebar was a rather short horse.
Caption: ” PRINCE’S STALLION FOR CANADA. The Prince of Wales’ Arabian stallion Aldebaran, which was shipped on the Canadian Pacific liner “Minnedosa” from Glasgow. The animal will compete at the Canadian National Exhibition at Toronto before going to the Prince’s ranch in Alberta.“
Wow – beautiful picture!
Yes, it is. I like this best of any I have seen of him!
I am considering getting a print.
I also have one other photo of a younger *Aldebar that I have been able to locate that I am currently corresponding with the legal copyright holders to see if they will allow me to share it. Hopefully will have it up soon 🙂
