EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration by Charles Simpson transports us back in time to Epsom Racecourse in the 1930s, circa 1932. The vibrant scene is filled with the excitement and energy of a bustling race day. Spectators, dressed in their finest attire, gather around their vehicles, their faces focused intently on the action unfolding on the track below. The crowd's collective anticipation builds as the horses and jockeys prepare for the next race. Epsom Racecourse, located in Surrey, England, is renowned for its historic races, most notably the Investec Derby and the Oaks Stakes. The course, which opened in 1661, is one of the oldest and most prestigious racecourses in the world. The illustration showcases the unique experience of watching the races from the comfort of one's vehicle, a popular trend during the 1930s. The intricate details in Simpson's artwork bring the atmosphere of the day to life. The various hats and outfits worn by the spectators, the horses and jockeys in the foreground, and the grandstand in the background all contribute to the sense of grandeur and excitement that comes with a day at the races. This illustration is a testament to the enduring allure of horse racing and the unique experience it offers. It provides a glimpse into the past, allowing us to relive the excitement and nostalgia of a bygone era.
