EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Sport in the Off-Season, Newmarket at Ease" takes us back to 19th century England, capturing a moment of leisure and camaraderie. The scene is set on Newmarket Heath, where renowned horse racing events usually take place. However, during the off-season, this tranquil landscape becomes a gathering spot for locals seeking respite from their daily routines. In the foreground of the print, we see a group of gentlemen with their dogs enjoying a relaxed afternoon together. Their attention seems to be focused on something beyond our view - perhaps reminiscing about past races or discussing future plans. The dogs eagerly join in the conversation as loyal companions. The Rutland Arms can be seen in the background, providing an idyllic backdrop to this peaceful scene. This establishment has likely witnessed countless tales of triumphs and defeats within its walls throughout its existence. Although bloodsports were prevalent during this era, it's refreshing to witness these individuals finding solace in each other's company without engaging in competitive pursuits. It serves as a reminder that even those deeply involved in high-stakes sports need moments of ease and connection outside their usual arenas. This engraving was originally featured in The Graphic magazine on March 12th, 1892 – offering readers an escape into this serene world through artistry and imagination. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts, we can still appreciate this snapshot from history today.
