EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Sketches at the Liverpool Grand National Steeplechase" takes us back to a thrilling moment in horseracing history. Created by Ralph Cleaver in 1899, this print captures the essence of the prestigious event held at Liverpool's Grand National Steeplechase. The scene depicted showcases a bustling paddock filled with anticipation and excitement. Jockeys prepare their racehorses while spectators eagerly await the start of the race. The attention to detail in Cleaver's sketches is remarkable, allowing us to immerse ourselves in this historic moment. One particular sketch catches our eye - it portrays an intense and heart-stopping moment known as a "narrow shave". A horse named Sapper minus jockey narrowly avoids colliding with another competitor, showcasing both skill and luck on its path towards victory. Amongst the crowd, we spot Count de Geloes, an esteemed figure associated with horseracing. His presence adds an air of prestige to this already exhilarating event. As we delve into this engraving from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are transported back in time to witness not only a thrilling race but also experience the vibrant atmosphere that surrounded such events during that era. This print serves as a testament to both Cleaver's artistic talent and his ability to capture moments that continue to captivate viewers over a century later.
