EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "The Derby Crowd" and dated 1870, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past of one of the most iconic events in British sports history: The Derby at Epsom. The image showcases an impressive and massive crowd that had assembled on this particular day to witness the excitement and thrill of the annual horse race. The Victorian era came alive as the throng of people, dressed in their finest attire, filled the grandstands and spilled out onto the infield. Ladies in elegant gowns and gentlemen in top hats and tailcoats mingled with the working class, all united by their shared love for the sport of horse racing. In the foreground, a horse-drawn carriage makes its way through the crowd, adding to the sense of energy and anticipation that filled the air. The animals, both equine and canine, also play an integral role in the scene, with horses tethered to railings and dogs roaming freely among the spectators. The Derby at Epsom, first run in 1780, has long been a symbol of British tradition and culture. The race, which takes place over a distance of 1 mile, 4 furlongs, and 11 yards, has attracted large crowds since its inception. This photograph, taken over a century ago, serves as a testament to the enduring appeal and popularity of this grand event. As you gaze upon this image, imagine yourself transported back in time to experience the sights, sounds, and excitement of Derby Day in 1870.
