EDITORS COMMENTS
The Newcastle Race Prize Plate (engraving) captures the thrilling atmosphere of 19th-century horseracing in Newcastle upon Tyne. This remarkable print, created by an anonymous English School artist, showcases the prestigious trophy awarded to the triumphant horse and jockey. The image transports us back to a time when horseracing was not just a sport but also a social event that attracted crowds from all walks of life. The finely detailed engraving allows us to appreciate the intricate design of the prize plate, which symbolizes victory and excellence in this exhilarating competition. As we gaze at this historic artwork, we can almost hear the thundering hooves and feel the excitement emanating from the spectators. The horses' muscular bodies are depicted with great accuracy, capturing their strength and agility as they race towards glory. This print originally appeared in The Illustrated London News on June 26,1847, providing readers with a glimpse into one of England's most celebrated sporting events. It serves as both a testament to our enduring fascination with horseracing and a reminder of its rich history. Now preserved within a private collection, this engraving continues to captivate viewers with its timeless depiction of athleticism and triumph. It stands as an enduring tribute to both the artistry involved in creating such trophies and the skill required for success on the racetrack.
