EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print by Thomas Rowlandson takes us back to a thrilling day of horse racing on October 20,1811. With his masterful hand-tinting technique, Rowlandson brings this momentous event to life with vivid colors and intricate details. The scene is set at a bustling racecourse in Britain, where spectators eagerly gather to witness the exhilarating sport. The horses gallop across the track with incredible speed and grace, their powerful muscles glistening under the warm autumn sun. Jockeys clad in vibrant attire lean forward on their mounts, displaying remarkable skill and determination. Rowlandson's attention to detail extends beyond the racetrack itself; he captures an array of people from different walks of life who have come together for this exciting occasion. From aristocrats donning elegant attire to commoners cheering enthusiastically from the sidelines, this image showcases how horse racing transcended social boundaries as a beloved pastime for all.
