The image features Mr. Punch, a popular British puppet character, leading the way in the Derby Race, with Joseph Paxton, the Superintendent of the Crystal Palace, hot on his heels. But this was no ordinary race. Jockeys from various nations rode not only horses but also an impressive array of animals, including a bull, an elephant, a pig, and a camel. The racial and ethnic diversity of the riders and their mounts adds a unique and intriguing dimension to this historical event.
