EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "A Novel Competition in a Gymkhana at Quetta, a 'Gretna Green' Race" takes us back to the year 1896. The scene unfolds amidst the vibrant atmosphere of a gymkhana event held in Quetta, Pakistan. Spectators eagerly gather around an oval racetrack, their eyes fixed on the thrilling horse race about to commence. The artist John Charlton masterfully captures the energy and excitement of this unique competition. Horses gallop with grace and determination as jockeys clad in colorful attire guide them towards victory. The intensity is palpable as these skilled riders navigate through obstacles placed strategically along the track. What sets this particular race apart is its reference to Gretna Green – a famous Scottish village known for elopements during that era. This intriguing twist adds an element of romance and intrigue to the already exhilarating event. The print itself exudes historical charm, transporting us back in time to witness this extraordinary spectacle firsthand. It serves as a testament to both sporting prowess and artistic talent from over a century ago. Displayed proudly within private collections today, this evocative piece continues to captivate viewers with its rich narrative and exquisite detail. A true gem from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, it offers us a glimpse into an enchanting moment frozen forever in time - where horses raced passionately under Quetta's sunlit skies while spectators cheered on with bated breaths.
