EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Pleasures of Amateur Steeple-Chasing" takes us back to the 19th century, capturing a moment in time that exudes excitement and adventure. The image showcases an hour of private view at the saddling paddock, where gentlemen riders prepare for a thrilling horse race. The scene is set amidst a sea of mud, as horses and their jockeys navigate through the challenging terrain. Some riders are seen wearing paper boots to protect themselves from the muck, highlighting their dedication to this exhilarating sport. The north-east wind blows fiercely, adding an element of unpredictability to the already intense atmosphere. In the foreground, we witness an amateur weighing himself before mounting his horse for a preliminary canter past. His anticipation is palpable as he prepares for what lies ahead - a big jump that awaits him on this amateur steeple-chasing course. Despite the challenging conditions, it is delightfully open weather with clear skies above. Spectators gather around various vantage points such as the ladies stand or along the side fences to catch glimpses of these brave riders in action. This engraving beautifully captures both the thrill and elegance associated with horse racing during this era. It serves as a testament to not only our fascination with these magnificent animals but also our enduring love for equestrian sports throughout history.
