EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a moment frozen in time from the illustrious horse race known as The Derby on 30th May 1896. Painted by the talented artist John Sturgess, this artwork showcases three magnificent horses that were considered favorites during that era. In the center stands Persimmon, owned by none other than The Prince of Wales himself. With its sleek and powerful physique, Persimmon exudes an air of regality fit for royalty. To its left is St Frusquin, belonging to Leopold de Rothschild, displaying elegance and grace with every stride. On the right stands Regret, proudly owned by the Duke of Westminster; a true embodiment of strength and determination. The jockeys atop these majestic creatures epitomize sportsmanship and skill as they guide their steeds towards victory. Dressed in vibrant livery attire befitting their noble profession, these men exhibit unwavering dedication to their craft. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of artistry from over a century ago, we are transported back to a time when horse racing was not only a sport but also an integral part of British culture. This image serves as a testament to the passion and excitement that surrounded such events during the reign of King Edward VII.
