EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Leaves from the Derby Day" takes us back to the exhilarating atmosphere of a historic horse racing event. Created by William Ralston in 1872, this engraving captures the essence of one of England's most famous races - the Derby Day. The image showcases a proverbial neck-to-neck finish as horses thunder down the racecourse, leaving spectators on tenterhooks. The action-packed scene is further intensified by the presence of household brigade members and their tandem surrey, adding an air of grandeur to the occasion. However, amidst all the excitement and anticipation, there is also a darker side depicted in this artwork. Pickpockets lurk among the crowd, ready to exploit unsuspecting victims. But fear not! Nemesis arrives in full force with police officers clearing out these miscreants and ensuring justice prevails. As we delve into this mesmerizing print, we are transported back in time to witness both thrilling horseracing moments and societal challenges that were prevalent during that era. It serves as a reminder that even amidst glamourous events like Derby Day, law enforcement played an essential role in maintaining order and protecting innocent bystanders. Bridgeman Images has beautifully preserved this piece from their Look and Learn / Illustrated Papers Collection for art enthusiasts to relish its historical significance.
