EDITORS COMMENTS
. This etching captures a historic moment in the world of horse racing - the exhilarating race between two magnificent stallions at York Meeting in 1804. The print showcases the thrilling competition between Mr. Thornton's Vingarillo and Captain Flint's Thornville, but what truly sets this event apart is the groundbreaking participation of Alicia Meynell. Alicia Meynell, known as Colonel Thomas Thornton's mistress, made history by becoming the first female jockey to compete in a professional race. With remarkable courage and skill, she fearlessly rode Colonel Thornton's prized horse Vingarillo against Captain Flint on Thornville for an intense four-mile race. The image portrays Alicia Meynell elegantly poised on her side saddle, defying societal norms with her determination to participate in this male-dominated sport. Her presence adds an extra layer of intrigue to an already gripping scene. The artist beautifully captures the intensity and speed of these majestic creatures as they thunder down the track towards victory. Every detail from their muscular bodies to their flowing manes conveys both power and grace. This extraordinary artwork not only commemorates a significant moment in sporting history but also celebrates Alicia Meynell's pioneering spirit that paved the way for future generations of female athletes. It serves as a reminder that barriers can be broken when passion meets opportunity – forever immortalizing this
