EDITORS COMMENTS
This print of Epsom, c1910 takes us back in time to witness the exhilarating atmosphere of The Derby horse racing event. The image showcases the picturesque landscape of Epsom Downs racecourse, nestled in the heart of Surrey, England. With a population of 18,800 at that time, this vibrant town was known for its mineral waters and played host to one of the most prestigious horse races in the world. The print is part of a unique card game featuring views from various counties across England. Each card beautifully depicts notable buildings, local products, and stunning landscapes using vivid colors. Produced by John Jaques & Son Ltd. , London during the early 20th century (1900s-1910s), these cards were not intended for commercial use but rather as an educational tool to explore geography. In this particular scene, we can see a grandstand filled with enthusiastic spectators eagerly anticipating the start of a thrilling race. The horses gallop across the track as jockeys skillfully maneuver them towards victory. This snapshot captures both the excitement and elegance associated with horse racing. As we admire this historical gem preserved by The Print Collector - whose identity remains unknown - it serves as a reminder that sports have always been an integral part of our culture and continue to captivate audiences throughout generations.
