EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving by Thomas Rowlandson, titled "Young English gentleman gambling at Newmarket racetrack, 1817" takes us back to the vibrant world of horse racing in the early 19th century. The scene depicts a dashing young man placing a bet at a betting post amidst the exhilarating atmosphere of Newmarket racetrack. Rowlandson's handcoloured copperplate engraving beautifully captures the energy and excitement of this popular sport. The jockey's colorful silks stand out against the backdrop of thoroughbred horses thundering down the track. With his keen eye for detail and skillful caricature, Rowlandson brings to life not only the characters but also their surroundings. The image is taken from William Combes' book "The Dance of Life" published in London in 1817. It offers us a glimpse into Regency-era England, where horse racing was not just a game but an integral part of society's fabric. As we admire this artwork, we are transported to an era when horse racing was more than just a race; it was an event that brought people together from all walks of life. Whether you were an aristocrat or commoner, everyone could experience the thrill and anticipation that filled the air on race day. This print serves as both a historical document and a testament to human fascination with competition and chance. It reminds us that even centuries ago, people found joy in testing their luck and witnessing extraordinary feats performed by these magnificent animals on racetracks like Newmarket.
