This picture is a typical 'behind the scenes' view of the Epsom race meeting on Derby Day. The people had more appeal to Knighton-Hammond than the actual horses and jockeys. The artist has painted the back view of tents and fairground attractions with the spectator stands in the background. A busy and colourful picture in which the people are going about their business.
