Description: | Bewick enjoyed taking his family to the races held on the Town Moor, Newcastle. He took nuts in his pocket for his children to eat. The engraving at the top of the programme shows four horses galloping flat out towards the winning post. The five-day event ended with the Town Plate - a race for which the prize was 100 sovereigns, a significant sum of money in 1826. | Publisher: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Temporal: | Production date: 1826 | Source: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Creator: | Thomas Bewick | Identifier: | http://www.twmuseums.org.uk/discoveringb... | Go to resource |
