A portrait of the jockey Herbert Jones wearing the racing colours of the British monarch. Lettered beneath the image "a King's jockey" and with the publication details "VANITY FAIR" top left; "Septr. 29th. 1904" top right; "Vincent Brooks, Day & Son Lt.d Lith." lower left. Signed with Roland L'Estrange's "AO" monogram (within the image).

Originally appeared as "Men of the Day. No. 932 - HERBERT JONES" in Vanity Fair 29th September 1904.

Herbert Jones was apprenticed as a jockey at the age of ten and rode his first winner at sixteen. In 1900 he won the "Triple Crown" when he rode the Prince of Wales's (later King Edward VII) horse "Diamond Jubilee" to victory in the three Classic British horseraces of that year: 2,000 Guineas, Epsom Derby and St. Leger. He was known from then on as " "Diamond Jubilee Jones" and became the King's preferred jockey. He won numerous other Classics but, sadly, is most often recalled as being the jockey who was on-board King George V's horse "Anmer" in the fatal incident involving the suffragette protester Emily Davison at the Epsom Derby of 1913. During that year's race "Anmer" ran down Emily Davison on Tattenham Corner and she later died of her injuries (Jones himself was unsaddled and injured in the event).

Roland Styleman L'Estrange, F.S.A., J.P., D.L. (1869-1919) was, primarily, an aristocratic Norfolk landowner.  He was also a gifted amateur artist who produced a number of accomplished caricatures for Vanity Fair which were published under his pseudonym "Armadillo" or "AO".

Better Than I Hoped
Color: blue, Color: blue
I have had Apple Watches for the past 6 or so years. I wanted to try out a basic watch again. I looked at digital watches but some were still over $100. I thought I’d give this watch a try as the price made it a pretty low risk. No notes. It looks great and does what watches are supposed to do. I wish it had a vibrate so I could use it as an alarm clock without waking up my wife.

this is the perfect daily everyday use digital watch........
Color: Black
hands down the best edc digital watch available, this watch is everything you need at a quarter of the cost of other digital watches. we all know the durability of iron man watches its legendary, but where this watch beats even other iron man offerings is the size of the digital numbers displayed a bit larger for aging eyes and what makes it even more durable than the other iron man watch's is that the instructional labeling of the buttons is under the glass and wont fade or rub off under use making it look cleaner and newer for longer. now lets mention the size or foot print of this watch, i own several watches from competing brands and almost once a day i hit the watch on something a door knob a table corner, but when I'm wearing this Timex 40mm i never hit it on anything due to the thinness of the watch.
