EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the excitement and energy of The House of Commons' point-to-point steeplechase, a thrilling horse race that took place in the 19th century countryside of the United Kingdom. The detailed illustration by Alfred Chantrey Corbould depicts politicians turned jockeys as they compete in this unique event, showcasing a blend of politics and sport.
The image transports us back to a time when members of parliament traded their suits for riding gear, galloping across fields with determination and skill. The horses are depicted mid-stride, their muscles tense with exertion as they race towards the finish line.
In this scene, democracy meets competition as deputies from different political parties come together for a friendly yet competitive race. It is a reminder that even in the midst of political debates and discussions, there is room for camaraderie and sportsmanship.
The black-and-white aesthetic adds to the vintage charm of the engraving, capturing a moment frozen in time where passion and dedication collide on the racetrack. This print serves as both an artistic representation and historical documentation of an era where even those in power found joy in spirited competition.
