EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Ascot - The Paddock, 1914, (1920)" by Claude Allin Shepperson transports us back to the vibrant atmosphere of Ascot in the early 20th century. Taken from the book "Londoners Then and Now As Pictured By Their Contemporaries" edited by Geoffrey Holme, this image captures a moment in time during one of Britain's most prestigious horse racing events. The scene unfolds in Berkshire's picturesque Ascot racecourse, where elegantly dressed men and women gather around the grandstand. Amidst a sea of monochrome shades, we see society members socializing under the shaded trees while eagerly awaiting the thrilling races ahead. The artist skillfully portrays both male and female figures engrossed in conversation or simply observing their surroundings with anticipation. Shepperson's engraving beautifully depicts nature blending harmoniously with human activity. The lush greenery surrounding the paddock provides a serene backdrop for this lively event that brings together people from all walks of life. It is evident that horse racing was not only a sport but also an occasion for Londoners to enjoy leisurely weekends outside of bustling city life. As we gaze upon this timeless snapshot frozen within these pages, we are reminded of how traditions like Royal Ascot have endured throughout generations as symbols of British culture and heritage. This remarkable piece serves as an exquisite testament to both Shepperson's artistic talent and his ability to capture moments that transcend time itself.
