EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and detailed coloured engraving captures the exhilarating Gymkhana races of the Hong Kong Polo Club in the 19th century. The Fai-Tee Stakes, a highly anticipated event, is depicted with utmost precision and artistic flair. Published in The Graphic on March 15,1890, this hand-coloured print showcases the Victorian style that was popular during that era. The image transports us back to a time when traditional racing sports were celebrated with great fervor. Men dressed in exquisite costumes can be seen participating in the races while being transported on sedan chairs and litters. The atmosphere is filled with excitement as spectators cheer on their favorite competitors. Hong Kong's rich cultural heritage shines through this artwork, highlighting its deep connection to polo and gymkhana events. Additionally, elements from European countries such as France are incorporated into these races, showcasing an amalgamation of different cultures. This print not only serves as a visual delight but also provides valuable insight into historical sporting events that took place at the Hong Kong Polo Club. It offers a glimpse into an era where tradition met modernity and people came together to celebrate athleticism and competition. Bridgeman Images has once again curated a remarkable piece from their Fine Art Finder collection that allows us to appreciate both artistry and history simultaneously.
