EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic moment of "Launcelot and Maroon" in the 1840s. The image showcases a side view of two magnificent British Thoroughbred racehorses, with their jockeys skillfully guiding them on the racecourse. In this intense sporting scene, we witness the epitome of athleticism and elegance. The photograph not only highlights the beauty and power of these majestic animals but also provides a glimpse into the world of horse racing during the 19th century. It takes us back to an era when horse racing was a prominent sport in England, capturing both its aristocratic nature and widespread popularity among sportsmen. The composition offers a unique perspective by focusing on Launcelot (1837-1861), who gained fame for his victory at the classic St Leger Stakes in 1840. This triumph solidified his place as one of Britain's most celebrated racehorses, making him an icon within equestrian circles. Through this print from "British Sports and Sportsmen" published in London in 1911, we are transported to South Yorkshire's prestigious Doncaster Racecourse where thrilling races like this took place. The attention to detail is remarkable; every muscle strain can be seen as these horses gallop towards glory. This print serves as a testament to both sporting history and artistic expression. Its monochrome aesthetic adds depth to our understanding of this significant event while preserving its timeless charm for generations to come
