EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "How to Escape Winning, November 22,1791" by Thomas Rowlandson takes us back to the vibrant world of horse racing in the 18th century. This black and white etching showcases the comical side of this popular sport during that era. In this whimsical scene, we witness a chaotic horse race unfolding before our eyes. The artist's keen eye for detail captures the intense energy and excitement of the moment. Jockeys clad in colorful attire fiercely compete atop their magnificent steeds, while spectators cheer them on with bated breath. Amidst all this frenzy, one particular rider stands out from the rest. George IV, then known as Prince of Wales or Prinnie, is depicted attempting an unconventional technique to avoid winning the race. His mischievous nature shines through as he skillfully maneuvers his horse away from victory. Rowlandson's artwork not only entertains but also offers a satirical commentary on human behavior and sportsmanship. Through clever visual storytelling, he highlights how even those in positions of power can sometimes resort to cheating or evading success. This intriguing piece serves as a window into British history and culture during King George IV's reign. Preserved at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, it reminds us that humor has always played a significant role in art throughout centuries past.
