EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "HORSE RACING, 1866. The betting-ring at Ascot" takes us back in time to the vibrant world of horse racing in Victorian England. The wood engraving, created by an English artist in 1866, beautifully captures the energy and excitement of a day at the races. In this scene, we find ourselves immersed in the bustling atmosphere of the Ascot racecourse. A crowd has gathered around the betting ring, eagerly placing their wagers on their favorite horses. Men from different social classes can be seen mingling together - from middle-class gamblers to upper-class gentlemen donning top hats. The focal point of this image is undoubtedly the jockeys atop their magnificent steeds as they thunder down the track. Their colorful silks fluttering behind them create a sense of motion frozen in time. It's as if we can almost hear the thunderous sound of hooves hitting dirt and feel our hearts pounding with anticipation. This wood engraving not only showcases a thrilling sporting event but also provides us with a glimpse into daily life during this era. Horse racing was not just about recreation; it was an integral part of Victorian society where people came together to socialize, place bets, and revel in friendly competition. With its impeccable detail and historical significance, this Granger Collection print allows us to step back into history for a moment and experience firsthand what it was like to be part of such an iconic event as Ascot
