EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The horse race" an exquisite engraving by Heinrich Guttenberg from the late 18th century. Created in 1777, this masterpiece captures the thrilling moment of a horse race with remarkable precision and detail. The image depicts a male rider on horseback, elegantly dressed in aristocratic attire, as he competes against other jockeys. The horses gallop fervently across the landscape, their powerful strides conveying both speed and grace. In mid-air, one of the horses is captured majestically leaping over an obstacle, adding to the excitement of the scene. Surrounding the racetrack are spectators eagerly watching every move. Their presence adds depth to this lively composition while showcasing leisurely entertainment enjoyed by French society during Louis XVI's reign. Jean Michel Moreau le Jeune skillfully translated Guttenberg's original work into this stunning engraving that now resides at Musee de la Ville de Paris, Musee Carnavalet in France. This particular print was captured by Adolphe Giraudon in the late 19th century, preserving its timeless beauty for generations to come. "The horse race" serves as a testament to Guttenberg's talent as an engraver and Moreau le Jeune's ability to bring life and energy into his work. It encapsulates not only a thrilling sporting event but also offers us a glimpse into history - an era when equestrian races were cherished pastimes
