The Derby, the Preliminary Canter - A Glimpse into Horse Racing History
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This engraving, titled "The Derby, the Preliminary Canter" takes us back to a bygone era of horseracing. Created by William Barnes Wollen in 1892 for The Illustrated London News, this print offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of thoroughbred racing. In this scene, we are transported to Epsom Downs in Surrey on a sunny day. The excitement is palpable as racehorses gallop across the track during their preliminary canter before the highly anticipated Derby race. Wollen's meticulous attention to detail brings every element to life - from the sleek muscles of these magnificent creatures to the elegant jockeys guiding them with skill and precision. As we observe this historical moment frozen in time, it becomes evident that horse racing has always been more than just a sport; it is an art form that celebrates speed, grace, and human-animal partnership. This print serves as a testament to our enduring fascination with these majestic animals and our timeless love affair with horseracing. Now preserved within a private collection but made accessible through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, "The Derby, the Preliminary Canter" continues to captivate viewers with its rich narrative and artistic brilliance. It reminds us of our connection to history and invites us to appreciate both the beauty of equestrianism and its cultural significance throughout centuries past.
