EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving titled "A Race on Stilts" we are transported back to the 19th century, where a thrilling competition is about to unfold. The image showcases a group of gentlemen eagerly preparing for a race, each equipped with their trusty stilts. With determination etched upon their faces, they stand tall and ready at the starting line. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable as every element in the scene comes alive. From the intricate engravings on the stilts to the expressions of anticipation on each participant's face, it is clear that this event holds great significance for these individuals. The composition exudes energy and movement as if frozen in time. One can almost hear the sound of cheers from spectators and feel the adrenaline coursing through these athletes' veins. It serves as a reminder of simpler times when such races were not only sources of entertainment but also opportunities for camaraderie and friendly competition. This particular print was originally featured in Chatterbox magazine in 1894, adding historical context to its charm. Preserved within a private collection, it now allows us to glimpse into an era long gone by. "A Race on Stilts" captures both our imagination and curiosity about past traditions while reminding us that human nature has always been driven by challenges and triumphs – no matter how unconventional or seemingly ordinary they may be.
