EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating promotional poster from 1896 transports us back in time to the bustling atmosphere of Olympia on 28 March. Created by an anonymous English School artist, this colour lithograph showcases a remarkable blend of artistry and advertising. The poster is a visual feast for the eyes, featuring a harmonious fusion of elements such as music, architecture, and equestrianism. The central focus lies on a magnificent band playing lively tunes that undoubtedly entertained the crowds during this grand event. Surrounding them are majestic racehorses galloping with grace and power, symbolizing the thrilling horse races that took place at Olympia. The architectural details depicted in the background highlight the grandeur of this entertainment venue. Its ornate design evokes a sense of elegance and sophistication befitting such an occasion. As we delve deeper into the image, we discover various farm animals scattered throughout - ponies, shire horses, stallions - adding charm to this already enchanting scene. This poster not only serves as an advertisement but also offers us glimpses into French culture and European history. It captures both the excitement surrounding sporting events like horse racing and reflects society's fascination with animals during that era. As we admire this print from Bridgeman Images' Private Collection today, it reminds us how art can transcend time and transport us to moments long gone while still sparking our imagination with its vivid colors and intricate details.
