A Great Society Gathering, Royal Ascot in Coronation Year
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures the vibrant atmosphere of a prestigious horse racing event. This lithograph by Frank Craig, dating back to 1902, showcases the elegance and excitement surrounding this grand occasion. The print depicts a bustling scene filled with various characters and activities. In the foreground, we see an inevitable silk hat-wearing gentleman engrossed in studying the action on the course. A dark horse catches his attention as bookies eagerly await bets from enthusiastic spectators. The band plays lively tunes while hands gesture animatedly in conversation. The pink hues of the enclosure add a touch of sophistication to this illusive society gathering. Amidst all the commotion, a gypsy broom seller watches intently as puppies playfully frolic nearby. This artwork perfectly encapsulates both the thrill of horse racing and the social significance attached to such events during coronation year celebrations. Attendees eagerly listen for tips on which horses will emerge victorious while others clear their minds and focus solely on each race unfolding before them. As viewers gaze upon this enchanting engraving from Bridgeman Images' collection, they are transported back in time to witness firsthand how high society indulged in their pursuit of leisure at renowned racecourses like Royal Ascot.
