EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the excitement and energy of Australia's Tasmanias Racing Carnival, specifically Cup Day at Elwick Racecourse. Taken by an Australian photographer in the 20th century, this image is now part of a private collection. The scene depicts a bustling crowd gathered at the racecourse, eagerly awaiting the start of a horse race. The horses, majestic creatures with their jockeys on board, stand ready to sprint across the track. The spectators are dressed in their finest attire, adding splashes of color against the monochromatic backdrop. The illustration was originally created for "Glimpses of Australia" a publication by the Department of External Affairs in Melbourne back in 1908. It offers us a glimpse into early twentieth-century Australia and its love affair with horse racing as a popular sport. The photo evokes nostalgia for a time when attending races was not just about gambling but also about being part of an exhilarating social event. The atmosphere is electric as people come together to witness these magnificent animals showcase their speed and agility. Whether you're an avid fan or simply appreciate historical moments frozen in time, this print transports you to Tasmania's vibrant racing culture over a century ago.
