EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures the vibrant atmosphere of the betting ring at the renowned Epsom Races in 1844. The creator of this masterpiece remains unknown, but their talent for capturing intricate details is evident. In this bustling scene, elegantly dressed men donning top hats gather around a central post adorned with race information. Their stylish clothing reflects the fashion trends of 19th-century Britain. Each individual exudes excitement and anticipation as they engage in animated conversations and examine racing forms. The engraving transports us back to a time when horse racing was not only a sport but also an occasion for social gathering and gambling.
