Racecourses have long been a hub of excitement and anticipation, where the thundering hooves of majestic horses echo through the air. Ascot Scenes showcase the grandeur and elegance of this renowned racecourse, with its sprawling green fields and glamorous spectators adorned in their finest attire. Epsom Racecourse, on the other hand, captures the essence of tradition and history, as depicted in "The King at Epsom Spring Meeting. " Here we see His Majesty observing the thrilling races from the balcony of the Grand Stand. Moving to Lewes racecourse in Sussex, we witness an intimate moment in the paddock where people gather to study form and place their bets. The atmosphere is electric as everyone eagerly awaits for their chosen horse to gallop towards victory. Meanwhile, a different kind of spectacle unfolds in "A Crowd watching Bear-baiting in a Town Square, " reminding us that they were not always dedicated solely to equestrian events. Engravings like "Royal Hunt Cup Day" and "Cup Day at Ascot" transport us back to a bygone era when these events were attended by high society members who reveled in both sport and socializing. In contrast, paintings such as "Interior with Rocking Chair" offer glimpses into more serene moments behind-the-scenes at racecourses; perhaps a jockey taking a break or reflecting on upcoming challenges. Venturing beyond British shores, we encounter international allure with depictions like "Racecourse at Bois de Boulogne. " This pastel artwork captures Parisian charm amidst vibrant crowds gathered for an exhilarating day at the races. Closer to home again is Goodwood Racecourse portrayed in "A Finish at Goodwood, " showcasing colorful pastels that bring alive every emotion felt during those final moments before crossing that finish line. Lastly but certainly not least are two iconic oil paintings depicting The Oxford and Cambridge Boat Race from 1879-1880.
