Created by renowned artist William Barnes Wollen, this engraving takes us back to the 19th century when horseracing was at its peak. The scene unfolds with final instructions being given to jockeys before they embark on a challenging course filled with hurdles and water jumps. The anticipation is palpable as spectators eagerly await the start of the race, while hunt servants diligently prepare for their duties. In the foreground, we see racehorses clearing rails with remarkable agility, showcasing their strength and grace. Meanwhile, in the distance, participants canter towards victory as they navigate through half-mile steeplechase turns.

The attention to detail is truly commendable. This print offers a window into history and allows us to appreciate both the athleticism of these magnificent creatures and the excitement that surrounded such events.
