EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Pony Races On Blackheath" takes us back to the vibrant streets of Victorian London in 1835. The image, captured by the talented John Short, showcases a thrilling scene filled with energy and excitement. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot, we are transported to Blackheath, where ponies and horses gallop across the open field amidst cheering spectators. The newspaper headline suggests that this event was a significant moment in London's news cycle during that era. It is evident from the expressions on people's faces that they were thoroughly enjoying themselves at these races. The atmosphere is one of pure joy and merriment as ladies elegantly ride their horses while showcasing their riding skills. The etch block letterpress printing technique used for this mono illustration adds a touch of nostalgia to the image, reminding us of an era when such prints were highly valued for their artistic craftsmanship. The attention to detail is remarkable; every strand of mane and tail can be seen flowing gracefully as these magnificent creatures race towards victory. "Pony Races On Blackheath" serves not only as a visual delight but also as a window into history, allowing us to appreciate both the cultural significance and recreational pursuits enjoyed by Victorians. This print captures a moment frozen in time - an exquisite reminder of how even simple pleasures like pony races brought communities together in celebration centuries ago.
