EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of the prestigious horse race, "Le prix Saint Leger a Doncaster" as depicted in Charles Molloy Westmacott's novel "The English Spy". Illustrated by Robert Cruikshank and published in London between 1825-26, this artwork showcases the excitement and grandeur of British horse racing during the 19th century. In this lively scene, we are transported to Doncaster where members of the bourgeoisie gather to witness this thrilling event. The atmosphere is electric as spectators eagerly await the start of the race. Jockeys dressed in vibrant colors can be seen atop their magnificent horses, ready to compete for glory. Robert Cruikshank's masterful drawing technique brings each character and detail to life. From the intricate patterns on jockeys' attire to every muscle defined on these powerful steeds, his attention to detail is truly remarkable. This print offers a glimpse into an era when horse racing was not only a sport but also a social occasion for high society. It reminds us of Britain's rich equestrian tradition and its enduring fascination with thoroughbred races. As we admire this piece from Leonard de Selva's private collection, we are reminded that art has the power to transport us through time and immerse us in different cultures and historical moments.
