The Derby 1900
Climax of the big race
Non-Fiction 1900 1 mins Silent
Overview
The sky was reportedly 'black with hats' as the Prince of Wales' horse, Diamond Jubilee, thundered home by half a length. The popular annual fixture of the Epsom Derby, the great Londoner's day out, was covered religiously by the cameras of early film companies. This somewhat blurry image is taken from a position just beyond the finish line as the horses are slowing down and the punters are invading the course in customary fashion.
