EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a moment of exhilaration and elegance at the Rockaway Hunting Club. In this vibrant print by William Sullivant Vanderbilt Allen, we are transported back to the late 19th century, where horse racing was not only a sport but also a social event that brought together people from all walks of life. The scene unfolds with great energy as racehorses thunder down the track, their powerful muscles rippling beneath jockeys clad in colorful silks. The spectators cheer on their favorites, their eyes fixed on the thrilling spectacle before them. Amidst this flurry of activity, men donning stylish hats and carrying umbrellas add an air of sophistication to the scene. This artwork is part of a larger collection that showcases important events in track, field, and road sports during this era. It serves as a testament to the enduring popularity of horse racing and its ability to captivate both participants and observers alike. Through Allen's skillful use of color and detail, he transports us back in time to experience firsthand the excitement and camaraderie that defined sporting events during this period. "The Umbrella Race" is not just about horses thundering towards victory; it is about capturing a snapshot of history—a moment frozen in time for future generations to appreciate. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from Fine Art Finder's Bridgeman Images collection, we can't help but be drawn into its lively atmosphere—an invitation to immerse ourselves in an era long gone yet forever preserved through art.
