May, Settling for the Derby - A Comic Depiction of Long Odds and Long Faces
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This engraving by George Cruikshank, titled "May, Settling for the Derby" offers a humorous glimpse into the world of horse racing in the early 19th century. The scene is filled with amusing details that bring to life the excitement and unpredictability of this popular sport. In this comical illustration from The Comic Almanack, we see a group of characters gathered around a bookie's stand at the racecourse. Their faces display a mix of anticipation, disappointment, and disbelief as they anxiously await their fate. It is evident that many have placed bets on their favorite horses but are now faced with long odds and potential losses. Cruikshank's attention to detail is remarkable as he captures various types of horses - racehorses, ponies, shire horses - all adding an element of wildness to the scene. These animals symbolize both beauty and power while representing different levels of competitiveness in horse racing. The artist's wit shines through as he portrays not only humans but also farm animals observing this thrilling event. This inclusion adds an extra layer of entertainment to the image. With its lively composition and clever storytelling, "May, Settling for the Derby" invites viewers to immerse themselves in a moment frozen in time – one where emotions run high amidst long odds and even longer faces.
