EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous occasion at the Epsom Spring Meeting on 22 April. The engraving, created by Samuel Begg, showcases His Majesty King Edward VII watching the thrilling races from the balcony of the Grand Stand. The image depicts a scene of grandeur and royalty as King Edward VII, accompanied by Prince Christian, observes the horseracing events with great interest. The balcony provides an elevated vantage point for them to witness all the excitement unfolding on the racecourse below. Epsom Racecourse in Surrey has long been associated with prestigious horse racing events, and this particular gathering holds special significance due to its royal attendance. King Edward VII's presence adds an air of regality to this already esteemed event. The composition beautifully captures not only the king but also highlights other members of royalty present on adjacent balconies. Their Royal Highnesses are seen enjoying this spectacle alongside their monarch. This enchanting engraving was originally featured in The Illustrated London News on 26 April 1902, further cementing its historical importance. It now resides in a private collection but continues to captivate viewers with its depiction of royal patronage and love for horseracing.
