EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "How to Escape Losing, November 22,1791" by Thomas Rowlandson takes us back to the vibrant world of horse racing in 18th century Britain. This hand-colored etching showcases the artist's wit and keen observation of human behavior. In this humorous scene, a bustling crowd gathers at the racecourse as King George IV and Prince of Wales eagerly watch the thrilling competition unfold. Rowlandson's attention to detail is evident in his depiction of jockeys skillfully maneuvering their horses through the track. The artwork captures not only the excitement but also hints at an underlying theme: cheating. With a mischievous touch, Rowlandson portrays various attempts by riders to gain an unfair advantage over their competitors. From hidden springs beneath saddles to clever disguises, each jockey employs unique tactics in their quest for victory. Beyond its comedic value, this print offers a glimpse into Georgian society's fascination with sportsmanship and royal patronage during that era. The vivid colors bring life to every character and evoke a sense of nostalgia for a time long gone. Preserved within The Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, this masterpiece serves as a testament to Thomas Rowlandson's artistic prowess and his ability to capture both historical events and human nature with equal brilliance. It invites viewers on an enchanting journey into British sporting culture while reminding us that even centuries ago, winning was not always achieved through fair means alone.
