EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Doncaster Races, 1846" takes us back to a thrilling moment in English horseracing history. Sketched by an anonymous artist from the 19th century English School, this print captures the intense struggle and excitement of the racecourses during that era. The focal point of the image is undoubtedly the St Leger race, one of Doncaster's most prestigious events. The betting ring is bustling with anticipation as spectators eagerly place their wagers on their favorite horses. Amidst the sea of onlookers, a striking red horse stands out, symbolizing both power and determination. In the background looms a grand stand filled with enthusiastic spectators who have gathered to witness this exhilarating spectacle. Their faces are filled with awe and suspense as they watch these magnificent creatures thunder down Bawtry Road towards victory. The attention to detail in this engraving transports us back in time to Yorkshire in 1846. It not only showcases the passion for horseracing but also serves as a testament to its enduring popularity throughout history. This remarkable piece was originally published as an illustration for The Illustrated London News on September 26th, 1846. Preserved within a private collection until now, it has been brought back into public view thanks to Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform. As we gaze upon this print today, we can't help but feel captivated by its historical significance and appreciate how it immortalizes a momentous event in British sporting culture
