EDITORS COMMENTS
The Start of the Memorable Derby of 1844 captures a pivotal moment in horse racing history. Engraved by Charles Hunt and colored lithographed by John Frederick Herring Snr, this stunning print showcases the excitement and grandeur of the renowned Epsom Races. In this image, we witness the beginning of an unforgettable race that would go down in infamy. The year was 1844, and it was Orlando who emerged victorious after Running Rein was disqualified. The intensity is palpable as horses thunder down the track, jockeys urging them on with determination etched on their faces. The level of detail captured in this artwork is truly remarkable; every muscle strain and flying dirt particle are meticulously portrayed. It transports us back to a time when horse racing held immense cultural significance, drawing crowds from all walks of life. This print serves as a testament to both artistic skill and historical importance. Preserved within a private collection, it offers us a glimpse into an era long gone but forever immortalized through art. As we admire this piece, let us remember not only its aesthetic beauty but also the stories it tells about our shared human experience.
