EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "A Historic Derby, the Scene on the Course when the Prince of Wales received Persimmon after the Race" takes us back in time to a momentous event in British history. Created by William Small and now part of a private collection, this print captures an iconic scene that unfolded at the Derby racecourse. Intriguingly, it depicts the exact moment when Persimmon, a legendary racehorse owned by King Edward VII (then known as the Prince of Wales), triumphed in a thrilling race. The atmosphere is electric as spectators cheer and applaud while eagerly awaiting their chance to catch a glimpse of royalty. The focal point of this enchanting image is undoubtedly Persimmon himself, standing tall and majestic amidst his jubilant entourage. The prince can be seen graciously receiving his beloved steed with open arms, showcasing their deep bond forged through countless hours spent training together. Small's attention to detail transports us into this historic scene; we can almost feel the palpable excitement emanating from every corner of the course. From elegantly dressed ladies donning extravagant hats to gentlemen engrossed in animated conversations about racing strategies – every figure contributes to painting a vivid picture of this significant day. As we gaze upon this remarkable engraving, we are reminded not only of our enduring fascination with horse racing but also how art has preserved these cherished moments for generations to come. It serves as both a testament to our rich cultural heritage and an invitation for future
