EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Ancient games - horse racing, quoit throwing, wrestling, etc" takes us back to the early 19th century and offers a glimpse into the world of ancient sports. Created by Richard Dagley in 1821, this print showcases various athletic activities that were popular during antiquity. In the foreground, we see a skilled driver guiding his quadriga or four-horse chariot with precision and determination. Nearby, a quoit player prepares to throw his metal ring towards a term as onlookers eagerly watch. In another scene, a wrestler or boxer meticulously anoints his body with oil before engaging in combat. Lastly, there is a young man holding brass trochus or hoop and key – perhaps preparing for an exciting game. These depictions highlight the importance of physical prowess and competition in ancient societies. The artist's attention to detail brings these scenes to life while also emphasizing their historical significance. The engraving was originally featured in John Murray's publication "Gems Selected from the Antique" in 1804. It serves as both an educational tool and an artistic representation of ancient sporting events. Through this image, we are reminded of the enduring human fascination with athleticism throughout history. Whether it be horse racing, quoit throwing or wrestling – these ancient games continue to captivate our imagination even centuries later.
