EDITORS COMMENTS
On the Hill at Epsom, Satire on a Day at the Races" captures the vibrant and comical atmosphere of a horse racing event in 19th century England. The color lithograph by Tom Merry offers a whimsical perspective on this popular pastime, showcasing his talent for satire and humor. In this lively scene, we see an array of characters dressed in their finest summer clothes, donning hats and sombreros as they gather to witness the thrilling horse race. The carriage coaches are hitched together, ready to transport eager spectators to their vantage points along the hillside. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the intricate depiction of each individual and their unique attire. The horses themselves take center stage, with racehorses and ponies galloping across the track with great speed and determination. Their wild energy is contrasted by the more docile farm animals grazing peacefully nearby. Merry's satirical drawing not only highlights the excitement of horse racing but also pokes fun at societal norms and customs prevalent during that time period. It serves as both entertainment and social commentary, offering viewers a glimpse into Victorian England's leisure activities while subtly critiquing its class divisions. This print from Bridgeman Images allows us to step back in time and immerse ourselves in a world filled with laughter, competition, and eccentricity - all through one artist's playful interpretation of "On the Hill at Epsom.
