EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to Hong Kong in 1858. The image showcases the bustling atmosphere of the Hong Kong Race Course, with its iconic one-shilling stand prominently featured. This wood engraving, created by an English artist during that era, beautifully captures a slice of daily life during the Ching Dynasty. As we delve into this historical snapshot, our eyes are drawn to a diverse audience eagerly awaiting the start of a thrilling horse race. Amongst them are Chinese spectators dressed in traditional attire, their curiosity piqued by this exhilarating event imported from Western culture. Jockeys can be seen preparing their horses for the race ahead, exuding confidence and determination. The intricate details within this engraving transport us to a different time and place. We can almost feel the excitement building as spectators cheer on their favorite horses while placing bets on who will emerge victorious. The energy is palpable as people from various backgrounds come together to enjoy this shared experience. This remarkable piece of art offers us a glimpse into Hong Kong's rich history and its early interactions with foreign influences. It serves as a reminder that even amidst cultural differences, there are moments when people unite through common interests and experiences – such as witnessing an enthralling horse race at the heart of Hong Kong over 160 years ago.
