EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Ascot Races, 1848, the Prize Plate" takes us back in time to witness a momentous event in British horseracing history. The engraving, created by an unknown English School artist from the 19th century, captures the excitement and grandeur of the Ascot Races. The scene depicts a thrilling race for the prestigious Prize Plate at Ascot. Jockeys clad in vibrant silks fiercely compete atop their magnificent thoroughbreds as they gallop towards victory. The atmosphere is electric with anticipation as spectators cheer on their favorite horses from elegant stands adorned with flags and banners. Notable details include trophies gleaming under the sunlight and references to renowned horses like Peter the Great. This print offers a glimpse into not only a specific race but also into life during this era of horseracing in Berkshire. Commissioned for publication in The Illustrated London News on June 10th, 1848, this artwork showcases both artistic skill and historical significance. Preserved within a private collection today, it serves as a testament to our enduring fascination with equestrian sports. Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder presents this extraordinary piece that encapsulates alluring scenes from one of England's most celebrated racing events – Ascot Races – where tradition meets passion on every stride towards glory.
