EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving of Epsom Racecourse takes us back to the 19th century, immersing us in a world of exhilarating horse racing and vibrant social gatherings. The print, hand-coloured in the Victorian style, showcases the excitement and grandeur that surrounded this iconic sporting event. In this scene from The Illustrated London News dated May 26,1860, spectators eagerly await "The Coming In" at Epsom Racecourse. Coaches filled with enthusiastic racegoers line up along the track as they witness the thrilling conclusion of a race. Horses gallop towards the finish line while jockeys skillfully guide them to victory. The illustration beautifully captures not only the action on the racetrack but also provides a glimpse into society at that time. It reflects an era when horse racing was not just about sport but also served as a prominent social occasion for people from all walks of life. As we explore this image further, we notice various animals present – from majestic racehorses to ponies and shire horses used for transportation purposes. This depiction reminds us of how deeply intertwined humans were with their animal companions during this period. With its rich historical context and meticulous attention to detail, this engraving by Smyth transports us back in time to experience both the thrill of horseracing and gain insight into Victorian society's love affair with equestrian sports.
