EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the year 1820 with this print titled "Windy Derby / Epsom / Alken". The image captures a chaotic scene at the Epsom Race Course, where race-goers are sent flying by a severe wind. The gusts of wind have caused havoc amongst the spectators, with umbrellas blown inside out and clouds of dust swirling around.
The historical significance of this moment is palpable as we witness the effects of a windy day on horse racing enthusiasts. As the horses line up for the start of the Derby, it is clear that Mother Nature has other plans in store for them. The crowd looks on in disbelief as some are literally lifted off their feet by the powerful winds.
The artist Alken has masterfully captured this dramatic scene, showcasing both the excitement and danger that can come with outdoor sporting events. This print serves as a reminder of how unpredictable weather can be and how quickly things can turn from joyous celebration to chaos.
So take a step back in time and immerse yourself in this snapshot from history. Feel the energy of the crowd, hear the roar of excitement, and experience firsthand what it was like to be caught in a windy derby at Epsom Race Course over two centuries ago.
