EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "A Racecourse Scene in India, Bengalese Bookmakers plying their Trade" transports us to the vibrant world of horse racing in colonial India. Created by William T. Maud in 1899, this print captures a bustling scene filled with energy and anticipation. In the foreground, we see Bengalese bookmakers engrossed in their trade, eagerly taking bets from enthusiastic racegoers. Their animated gestures and intense expressions reveal the excitement that permeates the air. The artist skillfully portrays the diversity of Indian culture through his depiction of these bookmakers, dressed in traditional attire representative of different regions across Bengal. The racecourse itself is a spectacle to behold – grandstands filled with spectators eagerly awaiting the start of a thrilling race. The horses can be seen prancing restlessly as jockeys prepare for an exhilarating contest on this sun-drenched day. Maud's attention to detail is evident throughout this lithograph; every figure and element meticulously rendered to capture both the essence of horse racing and Indian society at that time. Through his artistry, he invites us into this lively atmosphere where gambling becomes an integral part of cultural entertainment. This remarkable piece offers not only a glimpse into historical sporting events but also serves as a testament to Maud's ability to bring life and vitality onto paper. It stands as a timeless tribute to both Indian culture and the universal thrill found within horseracing around the world.
