EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Amateur Racing" takes us back to the 19th century, capturing a thrilling moment in horse racing history. The engraving, created by an English School artist, showcases the excitement and energy surrounding amateur racing during this era. The scene depicts a group of horses galloping at full speed, their jockeys adorned in vibrant crown colors. The crowd watches with bated breath as these brave amateurs compete for victory. Despite being considered less experienced than professional racers, these enthusiastic riders are encouraged to participate and showcase their skills. In the foreground, we see one particular jockey named Sammy Jones on his mount Corsica. With determination etched on his face and spurs lightly touching his horse's sides, he races towards the finish line. His skillful riding technique is evident as he maintains steady control over his steed while pushing it to its limits. Amidst the intense competition lies an element of danger; accidents were not uncommon in this exhilarating sport. However, such risks only added to the allure and attraction of amateur racing across Europe. This enchanting print from Look and Learn / Illustrated Papers Collection captures both the spirit of friendly competition among amateurs and the thrill that comes with witnessing such events firsthand. It serves as a reminder of our enduring fascination with horse racing throughout history – a timeless tradition that continues to captivate audiences worldwide.
