EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Sketches at Melbourne, Australia" takes us back to the vibrant atmosphere of Cup Day in 1890. The engraving, created by Melton Prior and featured in The Illustrated London News, offers a fascinating glimpse into the racecourses and architectural wonders of Melbourne during that time. In this image, we are transported to a bustling saddling paddock where jockeys prepare their horses for the exhilarating races ahead. The energy is palpable as crowds gather around, eagerly clutching their tickets in anticipation of witnessing thrilling horseracing action. The grand stand stands tall in the background, showcasing its majestic architecture while providing an excellent vantage point for spectators to enjoy the races. Beyond it lies Government House, adding an air of elegance and sophistication to this lively scene. Melbourne Racecourse comes alive with activity on Cup Day - a day filled with excitement and tradition that still captivates Australians today. This enchanting print allows us to immerse ourselves in history and experience firsthand the thrill of one of Australia's most celebrated sporting events. Bridgeman Images has beautifully preserved this piece from their Look and Learn / Illustrated Papers Collection.
