EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Songstress, Winner of The Oaks at Epsom, 1852" by Benjamin Herring takes us back to a momentous horse racing event in the mid-19th century. The image showcases the magnificent racehorse Songstress, who triumphed in one of the most prestigious races of that time. The artist skillfully captures the grace and power of this equine champion as it gallops towards victory. With every muscle tensed and mane flowing in the wind, Songstress exudes an aura of strength and determination. The attention to detail is remarkable, from the intricate shading on its coat to the intensity in its eyes. Held annually at Epsom Downs Racecourse in England since 1779, The Oaks was renowned for attracting elite thoroughbreds from all over. In 1852, Songstress emerged victorious among her competitors with Lancashire pride shining through. This engraving originally appeared as an illustration for The Illustrated London News on June 5th, 1852. It serves as a testament to both Herring's artistic talent and Songstress' exceptional performance on that historic day. As we gaze upon this print today, we are transported back to a time when horseracing held great cultural significance and captivated audiences across Britain. This artwork allows us to appreciate not only the beauty of these majestic creatures but also their role in shaping history through their incredible athleticism and spirit.
