The Goodwood Race Plate - A Glimpse into Horse Racing History
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases "The Goodwood Race Plate" an exquisite engraving created by the English School in the 19th century. The artwork, now part of a private collection, was originally featured in The Illustrated London News on July 29,1854. The image transports us to a time when horse racing held great significance and excitement. The race plate itself is a magnificent trophy, symbolizing triumph and prestige within the sport. Its intricate design reflects the skill and craftsmanship of its creators. In this depiction, we see an Arab group gathered around the prized Goodwood Race Plate. Their presence adds an air of exoticism and mystique to the scene as they celebrate alongside this coveted trophy. Among them stands Alexander III of Macedon, famously known as Alexander the Great, who had a deep passion for horseracing. The desert backdrop evokes images of vast landscapes where legendary horses like Bucephalus once roamed freely. It also pays homage to Apollo and Phaeton - mythical figures associated with horseracing in ancient Greek mythology. This print not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a reminder of our fascination with history's greatest conquerors and their love for equestrian pursuits. Through this artwork, we are transported back centuries ago to witness both beauty and power intertwined at one remarkable event - The Goodwood Race Plate ceremony.
