EDITORS COMMENTS
This 1851 engraving captures the thrilling moment at Ascot Races when Woolwich emerged as the triumphant winner of the Emperor's Vase. Little Jack, with his impressive speed, led the race from start to finish, while Woolwich patiently trailed behind, waiting for the perfect opportunity to make his move. With a clever strategy and remarkable stamina, Woolwich surged ahead in the final stretch and claimed victory by a length. The atmosphere surrounding this memorable race was electric. As Woolwich crossed the finish line amidst thunderous cheers from an enthusiastic division of spectators in The Ring, a profound silence fell upon the aristocracy watching from their privileged positions. This striking contrast between exuberance and quietude perfectly encapsulates the allure of horse racing. Woolwich is renowned as one of Messrs. Bland, Saxon, and Barber's prized possessions. Their expertise in breeding and training horses has clearly paid off with this exceptional champion. This vintage print not only offers a glimpse into an exciting moment in UK horse racing history but also showcases exquisite illustrative technique prevalent during the 19th century Victorian era. Its retro style evokes nostalgia for a bygone era filled with elegance and grandeur. As an engraved image preserved through time, this historic artwork serves as a testament to both artistic skill and sporting achievement—a true treasure for enthusiasts of equestrian culture and admirers of classic art alike.
