EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "Sketches at the Derby and Oaks" takes us back to the glorious days of horse racing in early 20th century England. The artist, Ralph Cleaver, skillfully captures the vibrant atmosphere of one of Britain's most prestigious racecourses - Epsom Downs. In this lively scene, we find ourselves amidst a bustling crowd on Oaks Day. Spectators eagerly gather around the paddock area as gentlemen clad in dapper attire discuss their favorite horses. The air is filled with excitement and anticipation for the great day ahead. Cleaver's attention to detail is evident as he portrays various objects that adorn this picturesque setting. From striped tents to elegant orchid arrangements, every element adds to the charm and grandeur of this occasion. The focal point of the print showcases Arriet, a renowned racehorse owned by JP of Kingsclere stables. This magnificent creature stands proudly while being saddled up before her big race. Surrounding her are other equine stars getting ready for their moment on these hallowed grounds. As we gaze upon this remarkable engraving from over a century ago, we can almost feel the energy and passion that permeated through those who attended such events. It serves as a timeless reminder of our enduring fascination with horse racing and its ability to captivate audiences across generations.
