EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Our Watering Places - Horse Racing at Saratoga" takes us back to the vibrant atmosphere of 19th century America. Published in Harper's Weekly, Vol. IX in 1865, this engraving by an unknown artist captures a thrilling moment during a horse race at Saratoga Race Course in New York State. The scene is filled with excitement as men and women gather around the grandstand, eagerly cheering on their favorite horses. The Victorian-era spectators are dressed elegantly, showcasing the fashion trends of the time. Amidst the crowd, we see a diverse range of individuals engrossed in this popular sport. Winslow Homer's masterful use of wood engraving brings life to every detail: from the intense expressions on people's faces to the powerful galloping horses racing towards victory. This artwork now resides within The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), preserving its historical significance for generations to come. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to a bygone era when horse racing was not only a thrilling spectacle but also an important social event that brought communities together. It serves as a reminder of our rich sporting heritage and how it has evolved over time.
