EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating engraving by Frederick John Skill that takes us back to the thrilling world of horseracing in 1861. This remarkable print, now part of a private collection, offers a glimpse into one of England's most prestigious sporting events. Skill's attention to detail transports us to Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, where racegoers eagerly gather for The Derby Day. From this vantage point near "The Corner" we are treated to an expansive view of the course as it stretches out before us. The atmosphere is electric with anticipation and excitement. In the foreground, magnificent racehorses thunder past at full speed, their jockeys urging them on towards victory. Their muscular forms and graceful strides are beautifully captured by Skill's skilled hand. Beyond them lies the paddock, bustling with activity as trainers and owners prepare their prized steeds for upcoming races. This engraving was originally created as an illustration for The Illustrated London News in June 1861. Its publication would have allowed readers across Britain to experience the thrill of The Derby Day vicariously through Skill's artistry. Today, this print serves as a timeless reminder of our enduring fascination with horseracing and its rich history. It invites us to immerse ourselves in a bygone era when tradition and elegance mingled effortlessly on these hallowed grounds.
