City Men at the Races
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a moment in history from 1847, where two gentlemen named Jones and Brown are enjoying a day at Epsom races. In this humorous cartoon print, we see Jones expressing his concerns about the state of affairs in the city to which Brown responds with wit and humor, "Then I'm deuced glad I'm at Epsom!"
The scene depicted is not only comical but also offers a glimpse into the leisure activities of men during that time period. Horse racing was a popular sport among the upper class, providing an escape from the hustle and bustle of city life.
The use of language such as "deuced bad" adds to the charm of this historical piece, showcasing how people spoke in that era. The characters of Jones and Brown come to life through their dialogue, giving us insight into their personalities.
Mary Evans Picture Library has beautifully captured this moment in history through their prints online. This particular print serves as a reminder of simpler times when men would gather at sporting events like Epsom races to socialize and enjoy some light-hearted banter.
Overall, "City Men at the Races" is not just a snapshot from 1847 but also a window into a bygone era filled with camaraderie, humor, and sporting spirit.
