EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Tom and Bob winning the long odds from a knowing one," transports us back in time to the early days of the renowned Ascot Racecourse in England, specifically the year 1822. The image, created by the acclaimed sporting artist, Alken, vividly depicts the excitement and thrill of horse racing during this era. In the foreground, we see two jubilant figures, Tom and Bob, triumphantly raising their hats in the air as they celebrate their unexpected victory. Their faces are etched with elation and disbelief, reflecting the unpredictable nature of the sport. The long odds they defied are evident in the astonished expression of the man in the background, who is seen clutching a crumpled betting slip. The intricate details of the print showcase the elegance and opulence of the event. Ladies in their finest attire, adorned with feathers and lace, watch the race from the sidelines, while gentlemen in top hats and tailcoats place their bets with bookmakers. The grandstand, adorned with banners and pennants, stands proudly in the background. The horses, with their powerful muscles rippling beneath their sleek coats, are poised and ready for the race. Their riders, clad in vibrant silks, lean low over their mounts, focused and determined. The tension in the air is palpable as the horses surge forward, their hooves thundering on the turf. This enchanting print offers a glimpse into the rich history of horse racing at Ascot, a tradition that continues to captivate audiences to this day. The unpredictability of the sport, the thrill of the race, and the excitement of the crowd are all beautifully captured in Alken's masterful depiction of "Tom and Bob winning the long odds from a knowing one.
