EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century showcases a promotional leaflet for an extraordinary event held at Royal Gardens in Vauxhall, London. Titled "The Curriculum; or, The Olympic Games and Roman Chariot Race" this spectacle took place on the 16th and 18th of July in 1839. The image transports us back to a time when entertainment was grandiose and filled with excitement. The focal point of the print is undoubtedly the thrilling chariot race, where powerful horses gallop furiously around a track, their hooves pounding against the ground as they compete for victory. The intensity of this moment is palpable. Surrounding the racetrack are beautifully landscaped gardens adorned with elegant architecture that adds to the splendor of this occasion. Spectators gather eagerly to witness these exhilarating games unfold before their eyes. This promotional leaflet serves as a testament to London's rich history in hosting remarkable events that captivated audiences from all walks of life. It offers us a glimpse into an era where leisure activities were celebrated extravagantly. As we admire this engraving today, we can't help but be transported back in time and imagine ourselves among those who attended this unforgettable event over two centuries ago. It reminds us that even then, people sought out moments of joy and entertainment just as we do now – proving that some things truly transcend time itself.
