EDITORS COMMENTS
At the Cheltenham Chases, 1932: A Glimpse into Society News from the Racecourse This photograph, taken from The Bystander magazine on January 6, 1932, offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of high society at the Cheltenham Chases in 1932. The image is filled with intrigue and excitement as ladies and gentlemen engage in lively conversations and deliberate their betting choices between races. On the left, Mrs Pease, wearing a fetching eyepatch, is deep in conversation with Lady Blanche Douglas and Lady Dunn, while Mrs Smith-Bingham looks on. Nearby, The Hon. Mrs Henry Yorke chats with Evelyn Waugh, adding an air of literary sophistication to the scene. Miss Fawcett-Butler and Miss Hilda Rahe are seen in the paddock, heads bent in thought as they debate the problem of what to back in the next race. In the inset, Capt. Patterson and Lady Amy Biddulph share a moment of camaraderie, while Mrs Smith-Bingham, Mrs Dunne, and Miss Fenwick are seen admiring the "red-hot" Glowing Brazier, a popular attraction at the racecourse, despite the cold weather. This photograph captures the essence of the Cheltenham Chases in the 1930s, a time when society news and horse racing were intertwined, and the thrill of the races was a shared experience among the elite. The Bystander magazine, with its keen eye for detail and captivating images, offers a unique window into this world, providing a glimpse into the lives of the wealthy and influential, and the excitement of the races they attended.
