EDITORS COMMENTS
This color plate, titled "The royal stand at Ascot races: His Majesty George IV and the Duke of York enjoying the sports of the turf," is an exquisite illustration taken from Pierce Egan's renowned collection of anecdotes, "Anecdotes of the Turf, The Chase, The Ring and The Stage," published in 1827. Pierce Egan (1772-1849), a popular journalist and sports writer of the Regency era, was known for his vivid storytelling and keen observations of the social scene. This plate showcases a lively scene at the Ascot horse races, with King George IV (1762-1830) and his brother, the Duke of York (1763-1827), both dressed in fashionable attire, engrossed in the excitement of the event. The royal stand, adorned with elegant decorations and filled with onlookers, sets the stage for a day of high society and horse racing. The vibrant colors and intricate details of the plate transport us back to the Regency era, offering a glimpse into the opulence and elegance of the time. This beautiful illustration is a testament to Egan's ability to capture the essence of the sporting world and the social scene of the day, making it a valuable addition to any collection of historical art or Regency-era memorabilia.
