EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "A Race Meeting in Jamaica" takes us back to the vibrant and exciting world of horse racing in the Caribbean. The image showcases a bustling racecourse with a diverse crowd eagerly awaiting the start of a thrilling competition. In this snapshot, we witness the tension building as horses line up at the starting point. A distinguished gentleman, possibly a governor or judge, stands tall overseeing the proceedings. His presence exudes authority and adds an air of importance to this momentous occasion. The lush Jamaican landscape serves as an idyllic backdrop for this exhilarating event. The course curves gracefully, leading our eyes towards a turn where anticipation hangs thick in the air. Spectators anxiously await their favorite steeds to dash past them with incredible speed and grace. As we delve deeper into this artwork, it becomes evident that even amidst all the excitement, there is room for unpredictability. A false start has occurred; perhaps one eager horse jumped ahead prematurely or got spooked by something unexpected. This unforeseen twist only heightens our curiosity about what lies ahead on this enthralling day at the races. Frank Dadd's masterful engraving skillfully captures not just a simple sporting event but also reveals glimpses of life in Jamaica during that era - its people, its culture, and its love affair with equestrian pursuits. It is through such timeless artworks that we can truly appreciate how art transcends time and connects us to different corners of history around the world.
