The Road to Epsom by Thomas Rowlandson
" Those red-cheeked, guffawing Cockneys, who sreamed to Epsom in coach, carriage, wheelbarrow, donkey cart, formed the inchoate mass whence were drawn the man who shouldered his Brown Bess in the Peninsula, and he who, naked to the waist, fed the guns at Trafalgar."

Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card.

Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
The Road to Epsom," a captivating and humorous masterpiece by Thomas Rowlandson, transports us back to the 18th century as it depicts the bustling scene of people making their way to the renowned Epsom Races. Rowlandson's satirical brush brings to life the vibrant energy and excitement of the day, as red-cheeked, guffawing Cockneys, dressed in their finest, make their way to the event in various modes of transportation - from coaches and carriages to wheelbarrows and donkey carts. This enchanting print, created on November 24, 1930, offers a fascinating glimpse into the social fabric of the time. The lower classes, often overlooked in historical accounts, are at the forefront of this scene, providing a stark contrast to the grandeur and elegance typically associated with the upper classes and their attendance at such events. The chaos and joviality of the crowd, however, belies the importance of this day in British history. Among the throng of people, the future soldier in the Peninsula War and the gunner at Trafalgar can be discerned. The Road to Epsom serves as a poignant reminder that even the most ordinary of moments can yield extraordinary outcomes. Thomas Rowlandson's The Road to Epsom is not only a captivating work of art but also an essential piece of historical documentation, offering a unique perspective on the past and the diverse social fabric of 18th-century England.
