Tattersalls after the Derby Race - A Glance at the Settling Day, or, Felix Qui Nihil Debet (Happy the Man Who Owes Nothing) (1832)
EDITORS COMMENTS
is an intriguing and humorous illustration that captures the excitement and energy of the horse racing world during the 1830s. The scene takes place at the famous Tattersalls horse auction house, where buyers and sellers come together to make deals following the Derby Race. At the center of the illustration, an auctioneer stands atop a raised platform, wearing a top hat and holding a gavel, ready to sell a racehorse to the highest bidder. The horse, adorned with a jockey's silks, stands nervously next to him, with a dog snapping at its heels. The bidding men in the crowd wear top hats and pierce the air with their bidding paddles, their faces expressing a mix of determination and amusement. In the background, a man with a book and a quill pen records the transactions, while another man, identified as "Felix Qui Nihil Debet," or "Happy the Man Who Owes Nothing," sits contentedly on the sidelines, a stack of books and a mug of ale at his side. The scene is filled with lively details, from the men in the crowd wearing colorful waistcoats and cravats to the banners and posters advertising various races and events. This illustration provides a fascinating glimpse into the history of horse racing and the horse trading industry during the 1830s. It captures the spirit of competition, camaraderie, and the thrill of the race, making it a must-see for anyone interested in sports history or 19th-century illustration.
