EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "At Richmond Horse Show, Saturday, 9 June" takes us back to the elegant world of horseracing in the late 19th century. Created by George Derville Rowlandson and published in The Illustrated London News on June 16,1900, this print captures the lively atmosphere of a horse show at Richmond. In this scene bustling with activity, racehorses are seen parading around the track as spectators eagerly watch from the stands. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his engraving technique. From the graceful movements of the horses to their sleek muscular bodies glistening under sunlight, each element comes alive on paper. The composition skillfully balances action and stillness; while some horses gallop with great speed across the field, others stand calmly awaiting their turn. This contrast creates a sense of anticipation and excitement that permeates throughout the image. Rowlandson's mastery lies not only in capturing physical likeness but also in conveying emotion through his work. As we gaze upon this lithograph today, we can almost feel ourselves transported back to that summer day at Richmond Horse Show. We can imagine hearing cheers from enthusiastic crowds mingling with neighs from spirited steeds. This remarkable piece serves as a testament to both Rowlandson's artistic talent and our enduring fascination with equestrian sports. It allows us a glimpse into an era long gone yet forever preserved within its intricate lines and shades of gray.
