EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the vibrant atmosphere of London in 1872. The image captures a thrilling moment at the Epsom Downs Racecourse, known as "The Derby - Tattenham Corner". Created by Gustave Dore, a renowned wood engraver, this piece is part of his iconic series called "London: A Pilgrimage". In this particular scene, we witness an intense horse race unfolding before our eyes. The energy is palpable as jockeys skillfully maneuver their steeds around Tattenham Corner. Spectators eagerly gather along the trackside, anxiously awaiting the outcome of this exhilarating event. Dore's masterful engraving technique allows every detail to come alive on paper. The crowd's animated expressions reflect their anticipation and excitement for what lies ahead. Amidst the sea of people, we can almost hear their cheers and feel their collective adrenaline rush. However, it seems that not all goes according to plan in this snapshot from history. A sudden accident has occurred; a jockey tumbles off his horse during the race. This unexpected turn adds an element of drama and suspense to an already gripping spectacle. Transporting us back to Victorian England with its authenticity and precision, this remarkable print offers a glimpse into both the elegance and unpredictability of horseracing during that era. It serves as a testament to Dore's artistic prowess in capturing human emotions within dynamic scenes like these.
