EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the exhilarating "Race to the Ring" in Niewland, where young riders compete for glory and honor. The weapon of choice? A formidable wooden spear, symbolizing their determination and skill. Suspended high above them is the coveted ring, a testament to their equestrian prowess. As the horses gallop with thunderous hooves, these brave riders must demonstrate agility and precision to snatch the ring from its lofty gantry. It is a thrilling spectacle that showcases both their bond with their noble steeds and their unwavering focus amidst intense competition. But this race holds an unexpected twist. For those who prove less fortunate or perhaps more clumsy than others, a wooden spoon hangs nearby on a signpost. This humble utensil will be handed over by the victorious rider as consolation for their valiant effort. The scene depicted in this engraving was inspired by Charles de Coster's voyage to Zelande (Neerlande) in 1873 and beautifully brought to life by Adolf Dillens' skilled hand. Published in "Le tour du monde" in 1874, edited by Edouard Charton and published by Hachette Paris, it has become an iconic representation of youthful bravery and competitive spirit. Preserved within the Selva Collection, this remarkable photograph taken by Leonard de Selva transports us back in time to witness this extraordinary event firsthand. It serves as a reminder of our enduring fascination with equestrian sports and our admiration for those who dare to chase after dreams with unyielding determination.
