EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the grandeur of The Horse Show in the Agricultural Hall, Islington, captured in this stunning print from 1864 by Mason Jackson. The image offers a glimpse into a bygone era when elegance and sophistication were on full display.
The scene depicts a general view of the interior of the hall during the parade of horses, with spectators eagerly watching as these majestic animals strut their stuff. On this particular day, the Royal box was graced by esteemed guests such as the Duchess of Wellington and the Duchess of Beaufort, adding an air of regality to the event.
With a total of 310 animals on display, including thoroughbred race stallions, hunters, ponies, and more, it's clear that this show was a true showcase of equine excellence. Not only did attendees have the opportunity to admire these magnificent creatures up close, but they also had the chance to purchase them at auction - attracting buyers from near and far.
As you gaze upon this historic photograph, you can almost hear the sounds of hooves clattering against the ground and feel yourself being transported back to a time when horse shows were not just events but experiences filled with excitement and prestige.
