EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the intensity and excitement of a bygone era in horse racing history, as we see Richard Tattersall Junior (1785-1859) in the midst of an auction at Newmarket, England. Tattersall, a renowned racehorse auctioneer, is deeply engrossed in the bidding process, gesturing animatedly with his gavel as potential buyers lean in, eager to secure their prized steeds. The crowd around them is a sea of top hats and colorful waistcoats, reflecting the sartorial elegance of the time. Born into a family of horse traders, Tattersall Junior began his career in the horse business at a young age. He eventually took over his father's auction business in 1811, expanding it into a highly successful enterprise that would come to dominate the racehorse market. Tattersall's auctions were renowned for their transparency and fairness, and he was known for his ability to assess the value of a horse with remarkable accuracy. The photograph offers a glimpse into the meticulous process of horse selection and acquisition that was integral to the world of horse racing in the 19th century. The horses, too, are a sight to behold, their powerful forms and glossy coats a testament to the care and attention they received from their trainers and owners. This photograph is a precious reminder of the rich history of horse racing and the important role that figures like Richard Tattersall Junior played in shaping its landscape. It invites us to step back in time and experience the thrill and excitement of a bygone era.
