EDITORS COMMENTS
Pierce Egan's Anecdotes: An Unparalleled Feat of Horsemanship by Monsieur Ducrow at the Royal Amphitheatre, 1827 This colour plate, taken from Pierce Egan's Anecdotes of the Turf, The Chase, The Ring and The Stage, published in 1827, showcases an extraordinary equestrian performance by the renowned French rider, Monsieur Ducrow. In this remarkable display, Ducrow is depicted astride two horses in a rapid circle at the Royal Amphitheatre. Dressed in the character of a wild Indian hunter, Ducrow's daring stunt left audiences in awe. Pierce Egan, a popular journalist and sports writer of the time, documented this unparalleled feat in his collection of anecdotes. The image captures the excitement and energy of the event, with the two horses galloping at full speed, their hooves barely touching the ground as they circle the arena. The skill and precision required for such a performance were truly remarkable, making it a must-see attraction for spectators. Egan's Anecdotes were a series of publications that documented various aspects of British culture, including sports, theatre, and social events. The colour plate, with its intricate detail and vibrant colours, provides a glimpse into the past, offering a window into the world of entertainment during the early 19th century. The image of Monsieur Ducrow and his horses remains an enduring symbol of the thrill and excitement of live performances and the enduring appeal of horsemanship.
