EDITORS COMMENTS
This humorous illustration, titled "The Man Who Bid Half-A-Guinea At Tattersalls" by H.M. Bat, captures the chaos and social faux-pas of the races in the late 19th century. Bateman, a popular and prolific artist of the time, regularly contributed to renowned publications such as The Sketch, Tatler, and Bystander. His ground-breaking style, characterized by its efficiency and boldness, was a brilliant reflection of the period. In this illustration, we see a man causing havoc at the races, bidding an exorbitant half-guinea for a horse during the 12th December sale at Tattersalls. The man's audacious bid, which would have been an enormous sum at the time, has left the other attendees in a state of shock and amusement. Bateman's masterful depiction of the scene is a testament to his ability to capture the essence of the moment and the social nuances of the era. Bateman's work, which is now considered a historical import, was regularly published between 1887 and 1928. His illustrations, with their wit and insight, continue to be a fascinating reflection of the period and offer a glimpse into the past. This particular illustration, with its humorous take on the races and the man who dared to bid half-a-guinea, is a prime example of Bateman's talent and the enduring appeal of his work.
