EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, captures a moment in time during the 1860s at the renowned Epsom Races. The scene features four distinguished members of the Metropolitan Police Force, A Division, who have come to ensure the safety and orderliness of the event. At the forefront, we see Superintendent Walker, identified by his distinctive tunic adorned with gold braid and a hat bearing the Metropolitan Police crest. He stands proudly, overseeing his team with a sense of authority. To his left, Inspector Baldry, identifiable by the three chevrons on his cuffs, wears a traditional Victorian police uniform, complete with a tall, peaked cap and a neatly pressed tunic. His stern expression suggests a man accustomed to maintaining order in the face of chaos. Inspector Swanson, with two chevrons on his cuffs, is shown on horseback, scanning the crowd for any signs of trouble. His horse, equally well-groomed, stands calmly, its coat glistening in the sunlight. Lastly, Inspector Denning, also with two chevrons, is seen conversing with a racegoer, his attentive demeanor and friendly expression indicating his ability to handle the public with ease. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the dedication and professionalism of the Metropolitan Police during the Victorian era. The intricate details of their uniforms, from the buttons to the horse's tack, are a testament to the pride and attention to detail that defined this esteemed force.
