EDITORS COMMENTS
This caricature, created in 1882 by an unknown artist and published by Terry Parker through Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a humorous and intriguing glimpse into the world of Victorian horse racing. The central figures in this image are Fred Archer, a renowned English flat race jockey, and his patron, Evelyn Boscawen, 6th Viscount Falmouth. Archer, depicted as a tin man with a determined expression, is shown riding on the shoulders of Lord Falmouth, who proudly holds the reins of a racehorse. Fred Archer, born in 1857, was one of the most successful jockeys of his time, with a remarkable career that saw him win numerous races. His skill and dedication to the sport earned him the admiration of his peers and the public, making him a popular figure in the racing community. Evelyn Boscawen, born in 1819, was a wealthy aristocrat who bred racehorses and enjoyed the thrill of the races. As Archer's patron, he provided the jockey with opportunities to ride in important races and supported him both on and off the track. The caricature's title, "Entracte: Fred Archer and Alfred Bryan," suggests that this image may have been created during a break in racing action, or perhaps as a lighthearted tribute to the two men and their shared passion for horse racing. The Victorian era was a time when sports and pastimes, particularly horse racing, played a significant role in the social fabric of British society. This delightful caricature offers a charming reminder of that era and the unique bond between the jockey and his patron.
