EDITORS COMMENTS
In this vibrant and lively photo print, we are transported back to 1st April 1813, where the renowned character Dr Syntax finds himself at the bustling race track in York. Drawn and engraved by the talented Thomas Rowlandson, this original artwork captures a moment of both anger and excitement. As our eyes wander across the landscape, we see a colorful array of characters - men and women alike - eagerly observing the thrilling horse racing event. The atmosphere is electric with anticipation as spectators place their bets on their favored horses. A magnificent steed gallops past, captivating everyone's attention. Amidst this whirlwind of emotions stands Dr Syntax himself, his face contorted with rage as he realizes that luck has not been on his side today. Having lost his hard-earned money, he dances with frustration while shouting in disbelief. His loyal dog faithfully stands by his side, mirroring its master's mix of disappointment and fury. The scene is filled with movement; people waving their arms in despair or jubilation depending on their fortunes. The energy is infectious as cheers mingle with groans throughout the crowd. This snapshot from history transports us to a time when horse racing was not just a sport but also an occasion for social gathering and gambling. It serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, human emotions were universal – whether it be joyous celebration or bitter defeat – all experienced within the realm of sportsmanship at its finest in England's esteemed race tracks like York.
