Alexandra Autumn Held Races Trotting
EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time and experience the thrilling atmosphere of the Trotting Races at Alexandra Park, London, in the autumn of 1890. This engraving, imported from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a historical glimpse into the past, showcasing three distinct views of the popular event. The first scene presents a bustling scene at the racecourse, where spectators, dressed in fashionable attire of the era, gather around the track, eagerly anticipating the start of the race. Horses and their drivers are seen preparing for the competition, with the tension in the air palpable. The second view takes us to the grandstand, where the elite of London society have assembled to enjoy the races from a privileged vantage point. Ladies in elegant gowns and gentlemen in top hats and tailcoats mingle and socialize, while the excitement of the race unfolds before them. The final scene transports us to the finish line, where the race has reached its climax. The winning horse and driver cross the line, triumphantly, as the crowd erupts in cheers and applause. The engraving, titled "Trotting Races at Alexandra Park, London, November and December, 1890," was published by ILN (Illustrated London News) on the 7th of December, 1890. This exquisite piece of history not only provides a fascinating insight into the social and cultural fabric of late-Victorian London but also showcases the beauty and elegance of the Trotting Races at Alexandra Park. A must-have for history buffs, horse racing enthusiasts, and anyone with an appreciation for the rich tapestry of our past.
