Large 19th Century Print After William Powell Frith. 'The Derby Day'

19th century
Description

This famous and striking fine quality print was published on 2nd March 1863 by E Gumbart & Co of 120 Pall Mall, London who was a prominent 19th-Century fine art publishing, print-selling, and dealership firm run by the influential Belgian-born art impresario Ernest Gumbart (1814–1902)

The Derby Day is a large oil painting showing a panoramic view of Epsom Derby, painted by the English artist William Powell Frith over 15 months from 1856 to 1858. It has been described by Christie's as Frith's "undisputed masterpiece" and also "arguably the definitive example of Victorian modern-life genre." Currently exhibited at the Tate Royal in London.

Good condition in a quality frame, it does have an old fold visible when looking close up, when on the wall this is barely visible.

Because of the subject (i.e. Derby Day) and crowds, it creates a tremendous amount of interest because of the number of figures in the print.

Great value at this price, this is not a modern copy.

This large 19th-century framed print after William Powell Frith depicts the famous Epsom Derby crowd panorama in a Victorian style. Composed of paper behind glass, it is set within a warm brown gilded wooden frame featuring a beaded outer moulding and a cream inscribed title mount, showing an old fold visible upon close inspection. The piece measures 68 cm high and 125 cm wide. Suitable for placement above a sideboard in a gentleman's library, the artwork brings historical narrative and intricate Victorian figures into domestic interiors. The detailed scene captures numerous characters against a vast sky, offering visual depth and conversation value for traditional living spaces or studies.

FAQs

William Powell Frith completed the original painting of The Derby Day in 1858, depicting the diverse social classes gathered at Epsom Downs. Due to its immense popularity, high-quality steel engravings and lithographs were produced throughout the late Victorian era to satisfy public demand for home display.

Prints from this period were typically executed on heavy woven or rag paper using steel engraving or chromolithography techniques. Frames were commonly constructed from wood featuring plaster or compo moulded detailing finished in gold leaf, bronze powder, or dark varnish.

Authentic period engravings display precise fine-line detail under magnification, plate mark impressions around the image border, and natural aging such as foxing or toning on the rag paper. The publication line or publisher details are also frequently present at the bottom margin.

A large narrative print serves as an engaging focal point above a sideboard, fireplace mantel, or sofa. Hanging the piece against a deep wall tone creates a striking architectural contrast that anchors traditional or eclectic decorative schemes.

Keep prints out of direct sunlight and humid environments to prevent UV fading and paper degradation. Clean the glass with a dry microfibre cloth and gently dust gilded frames with a soft feather duster, avoiding liquid cleaners.
