EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in the early 19th century, this evocative print depicts the thrilling start of a horse race. The scene is set at the historic racecourse, where the anticipation in the air is palpable as the crowd leans in, eyes fixed on the starting line. The flag bearer, dressed in traditional silk attire, lowers the flag, signalling the beginning of the race. In an instant, seven mounted jockeys and their powerful steeds burst forth, their hooves thundering on the track as they gallop away, leaving a cloud of dust in their wake. This stunning print, with its intricate embroidery and meticulous attention to detail, transports us back in time to an era when horse racing was a grand spectacle and a symbol of the aristocracy. The vibrant colors and dynamic composition capture the raw energy and excitement of the sport, making it a must-have for any history or art enthusiast. Horse racing has a rich and storied history, dating back over a thousand years, and this print offers a unique glimpse into the past. Whether it's the thrill of the race, the elegance of the jockeys, or the raw power of the horses, there's something for everyone in this image. This print is not only a beautiful work of art but also a testament to the enduring appeal of horse racing as a sport and a cultural phenomenon.
