EDITORS COMMENTS
In this 1872 print titled "DORE: LONDON: At Lunch" we are transported to the bustling racetrack in London. The wood engraving, skillfully crafted by Gustave Dore, captures a vibrant scene of people enjoying their midday meal amidst the excitement and energy of the races. The image showcases a diverse crowd gathered around tables, indulging in food and drink while engaging in animated conversations. From upper-class gentlemen sipping on their beverages to elegantly dressed ladies exchanging gossip, it is evident that lunchtime at the racetrack was not just about satisfying hunger but also an opportunity for socializing and leisure. As our eyes wander through the scene, we notice an entertainer on stilts towering above the crowd, adding a touch of whimsy to the atmosphere. A jester can be seen entertaining spectators with his antics, bringing laughter and merriment to all who witness his performance. This snapshot from Victorian-era London provides us with a glimpse into both its population's love for entertainment and its thriving leisure culture. It serves as a reminder that even during times when horse racing held great significance as both sport and spectacle, moments of respite such as lunch were cherished by all classes alike. With this print adorning your walls or displayed proudly within your collection, you invite history into your space while celebrating an era where pleasure intertwined seamlessly with tradition.
