EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Newmarket Races in 1909, an event steeped in rich history and tradition. The artist behind this masterpiece is none other than James Pollard, renowned for his ability to bring scenes to life with incredible detail. Newmarket Races holds a special place in British horse racing history, dating back to the time of James I. It was during Charles II's reign that these races gained even more prominence, as he himself would attend them on Newmarket Heath alongside his brother, the future James II. The engraving by Pollard beautifully depicts a bustling scene filled with both men and women eagerly observing the thrilling race unfolding before their eyes. Horses gallop at full speed across the track while spectators cheer on their favorites from an elevated view. This image perfectly encapsulates the excitement and rivalry that permeates every horse race. The concept of competition is palpable as jockeys push their horses to reach new heights of speed and endurance. Located in Suffolk, England, Newmarket continues to be a hub for horse racing enthusiasts even today. This print serves as a timeless reminder of its enduring legacy within the sport. With meticulous attention to detail and an aerial perspective capturing every aspect of this historic event, Pollard's work truly stands out among his contemporaries. It is no wonder why this piece has been featured in esteemed publications such as The Connoisseur magazine.
