EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this vintage photograph of a bustling horse racecourse in a late 19th century Asian city, likely Singapore. The image transports us to an era when the thrill of horse racing was a popular pastime for both locals and travelers. The grandstand, adorned with intricate architectural details, stands proudly against the backdrop of lush greenery and a clear blue sky. Ethnically diverse crowds fill the stands, dressed in traditional attire, adding to the rich cultural tapestry of the scene. In the foreground, a native man in turban and sarong watches intently as jockeys and their horses prepare for the next race. The historic structure, with its imposing columns and ornate balconies, is a testament to the city's colonial past, while the vibrant energy of the scene speaks to its lively urban character. This stunning albumen print, captured during the 1880s, 1890s, or early 1900s, is an ethnographic treasure trove that offers a glimpse into the fascinating history of horse racing and the diverse communities that came together to enjoy this beloved pastime.
