EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print by Thomas Rowlandson takes us back to the exhilarating world of horse racing in early 19th century Britain. Captured with remarkable detail and hand-tinted with vibrant colors, this image transports us to a time when horse racing was not only a sport but also a spectacle that brought people from all walks of life together. In this scene, we witness the start of an intense race as jockeys mounted on sleek horses eagerly await the signal to begin. The tension is palpable as both riders and spectators anticipate the thunderous gallop that will follow. Rowlandson's masterful etching skillfully captures the energy and excitement surrounding this iconic sporting event. As our eyes wander through the crowd gathered at this Metropolitan Museum of Art exhibition, we notice men and women from various social backgrounds united by their shared passion for equestrian competition. This snapshot offers a glimpse into British society during the eighteenth century - a time when horse racing became increasingly popular among sportsmen and enthusiasts alike. Rowlandson's work serves as a testament to his artistic prowess, showcasing his ability to bring scenes alive with meticulous attention to detail. Through this photo print, we are transported back in time, immersing ourselves in an era where horse racing reigned supreme as one of Britain's most beloved past
