EDITORS COMMENTS
Edgar Wallace, the renowned British author and mastermind behind some of the most thrilling crime and mystery stories of the 1920s and 1930s, is seen here enjoying a day at the races. Dressed in a smart suit and donning a trilby hat, Wallace looks every inch the sophisticated gentleman as he leans against a railing, intently studying the form of a horse before the next race. The year is 1930, and the racing fixture provides an exciting distraction from Wallace's usual writing routine. He is surrounded by the vibrant atmosphere of the racecourse, with the sound of hooves thundering on the track and the cheers of the crowd echoing in the background. Wallace's friends, fellow writers Peter Ronald Buchanan and Ronald C. Tout, can be seen in the background, also dressed in their Sunday best and engaged in animated conversation. Wallace, ever the charismatic character, holds a cigarette in one hand and a cigarette holder in the other, adding to his debonair image. Racing fixtures were a popular pastime in the 1930s, and Wallace, known for his love of all things sport, would have relished the opportunity to immerse himself in the excitement of the races. This photograph captures a rare moment of relaxation for the prolific author, who was known for his tireless work ethic and dedication to his craft. As the sun begins to set and the final race of the day approaches, Wallace and his companions no doubt look forward to a well-deserved evening of celebration and camaraderie. This image is a charming reminder of a bygone era, when the simple pleasures of a day at the races could provide a welcome respite from the demands of everyday life.
