EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving by Gustave Dore, titled "Derby, Le Tournant" takes us back to the late Victorian era in England. The scene depicts a thrilling horse race at the prestigious Derby, where a crowd of enthusiastic spectators eagerly watches the action unfold. The atmosphere is filled with excitement and anticipation as people engage in one of their favorite pastimes - betting on horses. Dore's intricate detailing brings this bustling scene to life, showcasing the diverse range of characters present at such an event. From elegantly dressed ladies and gentlemen to working-class individuals, everyone is united by their shared love for this exhilarating sport. The image captures a pivotal moment during the race when the horses make a sharp turn known as "Le Tournant". As they navigate this challenging bend, some riders struggle to maintain control while others skillfully maneuver through it. This intense moment adds an element of suspense and drama to the composition. Beyond its depiction of racing and gambling, this artwork also offers glimpses into daily life in 19th century Britain. It showcases not only farm animals like ponies and shire horses but also highlights cultural connections between France (Corsica) and Great Britain. Overall, Dore's engraving beautifully encapsulates both the thrill of horse racing and the vibrant social fabric that characterized Victorian England. It serves as a testament to our enduring fascination with sportsmanship, entertainment, and community gathering throughout history.
