EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the lively atmosphere of the Epsom Derby in the late 1800s, with Ally Sloper and Iky Moses setting up shop as touts in the midst of the bustling racecourse. Dressed in colorful attire and holding up race cards, they eagerly call out to passing horse racing enthusiasts, offering insider tips and bets. The Derby, a premier event in the British social calendar, attracts a large crowd of spectators, all vying for a chance to place their bets on the winning horse. However, the duo's chosen position in the middle of the course, right in the path of the jockeys and their horses, is bound to cause trouble. The jockeys, focused on the race, are unlikely to appreciate the distractions, and the police, tasked with maintaining order, are sure to take a dim view of their activities. The risk of getting in the way of a charging horse or disrupting the race is ever-present. Despite the potential for trouble, Ally Sloper and Iky Moses remain undeterred, their faces filled with excitement and anticipation. The Derby, with its thrilling races and the allure of potential winnings, offers them an opportunity to make a living and add to the excitement of the day. This historical photograph provides a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a window into the world of horse racing, touts, and the lively atmosphere of the Epsom Derby over a century ago.
