The Course at Epsom on the Derby Day
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures the vibrant atmosphere and excitement of horseracing in 19th century England. This exquisite engraving, created by an anonymous English School artist, takes us back to May 22,1858, when it was first published in The Illustrated Times. The scene is set at Epsom Racecourse in Surrey, where a sea of spectators eagerly gather to witness the renowned Derby Day. The artist skillfully portrays the vastness of the course, stretching out before us with its undulating hills and lush greenery. Jockeys atop their magnificent thoroughbreds thunder past as they compete for victory. Every detail has been meticulously captured; from elegantly dressed ladies and gentlemen observing from grandstands to common folk lining up along fences for a glimpse of this thrilling event. Their animated expressions reflect both anticipation and awe as they cheer on their favorite horses. This print not only showcases the spectacle of horseracing but also provides a fascinating insight into Victorian society's love affair with this sport. It serves as a testament to how deeply ingrained horse racing was within British culture during that era. As we admire this historic artwork preserved in Bridgeman Images' collection, we are transported back in time - feeling almost as if we were present on that momentous day ourselves.
