EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Exercising horses at Newmarket: the Prince of Wales, George IV is in the foreground," transports us back in time to the historic English racing town of Newmarket in 1790. The image, held in the esteemed collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a rare glimpse into the world of horse racing during the Regency era. Newmarket, renowned for its thoroughbred horses and racing traditions, is depicted in all its glory. The Prince of Wales, later King George IV, is prominently featured in the foreground, dressed in fashionable attire, observing the horses being put through their paces. His presence adds an air of royal prestige to the scene. The horses, with their powerful muscles rippling beneath their sleek coats, are shown in various stages of training. Some are being ridden, while others are being led by grooms or exercised on the treadmill. The scene exudes a sense of energy and excitement, as the horses prepare for the races. The print also provides a fascinating insight into the fashion and social customs of the time. The elegant attire of the Prince and the grooms, as well as the stylish hats and dresses worn by the ladies in the background, offer a glimpse into the fashion trends of the Regency era. This historical print not only showcases the rich heritage of horse racing in England but also offers a unique window into the past, allowing us to appreciate the traditions and customs that have shaped this beloved sport. The Prince of Wales' presence adds an intriguing historical connection, making this print a must-have for any collection focused on racing history, Regency era, or English social history.
