    The 1876 Melbourne Cup was a two-mile handicap horse race which took place on Tuesday, 7 November 1876.[1] This year was the sixteenth running of the Melbourne Cup. The race is most famous for winning jockey Peter St. Albans (real name: Micheal Bowden) who became the youngest Melbourne Cup winning jockey at 12 (he was actually a few days shy of his 11th birthday).[2] Briseis, who won the Doncaster Handicap at two, won by two lengths and was the first of three fillies to win the race the Cup. She also completed the VRC Derby and Melbourne Cup double.[3] Briseis won in a field of 33 and "The boy who rode the winner was carried around the pack and is the hero of the day" reported the Australasian Sketcher.[4] Both Peter St Albans and Briseis have now become racing legends.

    I can just picture the guy standing in the middle with a whip in one hand. Looks like a dreadful sweat-shop and why are they working from the floor?

    Well Stu, I think that's more modern sensibilities at work. There are photos from all over the world of tailors sitting in exactly this position, sometimes on the floor, sometimes on raised benches. And in fairness, the space is actually quite bright. I found myself wondering how they heated the place in winter though...

    It looks more like a prison camp.

    Thought provoking and interesting. Thanks.

    National Library of Ireland on The Commons That's true and I've also seen pictures of tailors working in a similar position. Wonder why they work in that seemingly uncomfortable position? How long can they sit like that on hard wooden flooring? Now, I'm surmising here....it would be nice to know if the man standing to our right is Mr Hearne himself and the other two to the left perhaps clerks? The man standing near the centre could possibly be the shop governor (foreman) and looks to be a hard task-master? Heating? If there's no fireplace then a couple of paraffin (kerosene) heaters. But without adequate ventilation the room would be very stuffy and nauseous, leading to headaches.

    Makes you wonder how Air suspension, reclining seats and air conditioning ever caught on doesn't it?
