EDITORS COMMENTS
The Earl of March's famous Chaise Match at Newmarket captures the exhilarating moment in 19th century horse racing history. This photograph, taken by an English School artist, showcases the intensity and speed of the racehorses as they thunder down the track. The image is a print from Thomas Henry Taunton's renowned book, Portraits of Celebrated Racehorses. Published in 1888, it immortalizes this particular event that took place between 1842 and 1870. The Earl of March himself was known for his passion for equestrian sports and his involvement in organizing thrilling races. In this scene, we witness not only the power and grace of these magnificent animals but also the skillful jockeys who guide them towards victory. The horses' muscular bodies are captured mid-stride, their manes flowing with every stride. It is a testament to both their natural athleticism and human training. This photograph transports us back to a time when horse racing was not just a sport but also a significant part of social life. It serves as a reminder of our deep connection with animals and our enduring fascination with competitive sports throughout history. Displayed against a backdrop of other historic illustrations, this print offers us an invaluable glimpse into the past – an era where excitement on racetracks like Newmarket captivated audiences worldwide.
