EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating engraving titled "Dream of the Winner" takes us back to 19th century Europe, specifically France, where horse racing was a popular pastime. This satirical drawing, originally published in Fun magazine on June 7,1862, offers a humorous and comical take on the world of horse racing. In this intricate artwork by an English School artist from that era, we are transported into the dreamlike realm of a jockey who aspires to be victorious in the races. The image is filled with various animals - racehorses, ponies, shire horses - all symbolizing different aspects of success and failure. With its scathing satire and clever caricatures, this cartoon-like illustration captures both the excitement and unpredictability associated with gambling at prestigious events like The Derby at Epsom. It also reflects upon society's fascination with dreams and daydreaming during that time period. This print from Bridgeman Images showcases not only the artistic skill but also provides valuable insight into historical perspectives on horse racing culture in Europe. Whether you're an art enthusiast or simply intrigued by history and humor intertwined within one piece of artwork, "Dream of the Winner" is sure to captivate your imagination.
