EDITORS COMMENTS
A Day at the Races" is a vibrant and captivating illustration from the coloured lithograph series "Les Cocottes Aux Bains De Mer and Les Cocottes Aux Courses" by Henry de Hem, showcased at Walker's Galleries in 1939. This charming image transports us back to a simpler time, evoking feelings of nostalgia and peace amidst the looming shadows of the 20th century and the approaching wartime. The illustration depicts a lively scene of men and women dressed in their Sunday best, enjoying a day at the races. The women, adorned in elegant hats and dresses, carry parasols to shield themselves from the sun, while the men don suits and straw boaters. A stylish carriage, adorned with ribbons and flowers, waits nearby, ready to transport the group to the racecourse. A picnic hamper sits atop the carriage, filled with delicious treats and refreshments, adding to the sense of leisure and enjoyment. The illustration captures the essence of the pleasures of the era, a time when life seemed to move at a slower pace. The warm colors and intricate details of the illustration bring the scene to life, transporting us back to a time before the chaos and uncertainty of war. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the simple joys and freedoms that were lost during the wartime effort of World War II. This beautiful illustration is a testament to the artistic talent of Henry de Hem and the beauty of the 1930s. The coloured lithographs, exhibited at Walker's Galleries, offer a glimpse into a bygone era, inviting us to savor the memories of a time long past.
