EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating line engraving that takes us back to the thrilling world of horse racing in 1879. Created by American artist Paul Frenzeny, this print captures the essence of speed and excitement on the race track. In this scene, we witness a late afternoon race as jockeys skillfully guide their horses around the track. The intense competition can be seen on their determined faces as they strive for victory. The crowd of spectators eagerly watches from the grandstands, their eyes fixed on every movement. The image showcases not only the athleticism and grace of both horse and rider but also highlights the importance of horsemanship during this era. The finely detailed engraving allows us to appreciate every intricate element - from the reins held tightly by skilled hands to stirrups supporting riders' weight. Set against the backdrop of Coney Island's famous Brighton Beach Fair Grounds, this artwork transports us to a time when horse racing was not just a sport but also a popular form of recreation for New Yorkers seeking thrills and entertainment. This remarkable piece from The Granger Collection serves as a reminder of our rich equestrian heritage while offering an opportunity to admire Frenzeny's artistic talent and his ability to capture motion and energy within still imagery.
