EDITORS COMMENTS
In this delightful print by the renowned British satirist, H.M. Bateman, we are transported to the prestigious Royal Ascot races of 1928. The smartest racing fixture of the Season is in full swing, with a sea of top hats and topper-wearing spectators filling the grandstands. The humorous view, typical of Bateman's wit and social commentary, offers an amusing take on the extravagant and sometimes absurd fashion trends of the time. In the distance, a glimpse of the winning horse and its jockey can be seen, adding a touch of excitement and competition to the scene. Bateman's masterful use of line and form creates a lively and dynamic composition, with the intricate details of the hats and the expressions of the crowd adding to the overall sense of merriment and amusement. The print, titled "The Winner," is a testament to the historical significance of Royal Ascot and the role it plays in British society. Bateman's keen observation of human behavior and his ability to poke fun at the absurdities of the social elite continue to resonate with audiences today, making this a must-have for any collection of comic and humorous art. Henry Mayo Bateman (1887-1970) was a prolific illustrator, cartoonist, and satirist, known for his humorous and insightful commentary on British society. His work appeared in various publications, including Punch magazine, and he is considered one of the greatest British satirists of the 20th century.
