EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Sir Tatton Sykess Leger, 1846" takes us back to the vibrant world of horse racing in the 19th century. Created by an anonymous English School artist, this print showcases a momentous event captured for The Illustrated Sporting and Dramatic News on September 13,1876. The focal point of the image is Sir Tatton Sykes Leger himself, a prominent figure in the racing community. With his regal presence and commanding stature, he epitomizes power and elegance. Surrounding him are various horses representing different breeds - from ponies to shire horses - symbolizing the diversity within the animal kingdom. The scene transports us to Corsica in Europe where this exhilarating race took place. The energy and excitement emanating from both spectators and participants are palpable through their animated expressions. It's as if time stands still as these magnificent creatures gallop towards victory. This engraving not only captures a thrilling sporting event but also serves as a testament to our deep connection with animals and nature. It reminds us of our fascination with wildlife and how we have harnessed their strength for centuries. As we admire this masterpiece from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, let it transport us back in time to witness the beauty of horseracing while appreciating its historical significance within European culture.
