EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Thoroughbred Flat Racing Horse: A Timeless Tradition in English Sports History" This handcoloured copperplate engraving, created by Friedrich Kaiser in 1802 for Friedrich Johann Bertuch's Bilderbuch fur Kinder (Picture Book for Children), offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of English thoroughbred flat racing horses, a popular sport that has captivated audiences for centuries. The image showcases a powerful and elegant horse in full gallop, its muscles taut and veins bulging, as it races along the flat track. The horse's sleek coat, glistening with sweat, is a testament to its speed and agility. The jockey, perched precariously atop the animal, holds the reins tightly, urging the horse forward with every ounce of strength. The grandstand in the background is filled with spectators, their faces a mix of excitement, anticipation, and anxiety as they watch the race unfold. The atmosphere is electric, with the clamour of the crowd and the sound of hooves pounding against the track creating a symphony of energy and intensity. Thoroughbred flat racing, also known as coursing, has a rich and storied history in England. Dating back to the 12th century, it has evolved into a sophisticated and regulated sport, with the first official race taking place in Newmarket, Suffolk, in 1636. The sport's popularity has endured through the centuries, with many of the world's most famous races, such as the Derby and the Grand National, taking place in England. This enchanting illustration not only serves as a beautiful work of art but also as a window into the natural history and cultural significance of English thoroughbred flat racing horses. It is a reminder of the enduring allure of this timeless tradition and the thrill of the race that continues to captivate audiences around the world.
