With its rich heritage dating back to the time of James I, this iconic racecourse has witnessed centuries of thrilling horse racing events. The image captures a close-up view of the course, showcasing the intricate lettering and navigational device that guided jockeys and horses towards victory. During this era, Newmarket was frequented by notable figures such as King Charles II and his brother James II, who were known for their love of racing. The presence of these influential royals added an air of prestige to the already prestigious races held on Newmarket Heath. Published in London by Seeley, Service & Co. , Ltd. , this print is a testament to the enduring popularity and significance of flat racing during the mid-20th century. It serves as a visual reminder of how horse racing has been deeply ingrained in English culture for generations. The photograph's sepia tones evoke a sense of nostalgia, transporting viewers back to an era when horseracing was not only a sport but also a social event that brought communities together. As we admire this remarkable piece from The Print Collector collection, we are reminded once again why Newmarket Race Course holds such historical importance within Suffolk and England as a whole.
