The Bookies - A Glimpse into the Chaos of British Horse Racing
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back in time to the 2nd of June, 1911, at the Epsom Derby. Captured by Topical Press Agency/Getty Images, it showcases a landscape scene filled with commotion and excitement. In this snapshot of history, we witness a horseracing event that has become an integral part of British culture. The poster sign prominently displays "26801 H SPO HORS RACE EPSOM DERBY" reminding us of the significance this race held during the years between 1890 and 1919. The focal point is undoubtedly the bookies - those passionate individuals who play a pivotal role in horse racing. Dressed in their vintage clothing and hats, they stand amidst a sea of people walking around them. Engaged in animated conversations, these bookmakers are seen discussing odds and taking bets from eager punters. The atmosphere is one of chaos and anticipation as spectators gather at Epsom Downs sports track to witness this thrilling sporting event unfold. The horizontal composition allows us to appreciate both the vastness of the crowd and individual interactions within it. Preserved through archival techniques, this print captures not only a moment frozen in time but also represents an era when horse racing was more than just sport; it was an integral part of society's fabric. It serves as a reminder that even after all these years, horse racing continues to captivate
