-
Description
Presenting a fabulous and very rare, original early 19th century engraving after a painting by John Frederick Herring Snr……engraved by Charles Hunt, circa 1832.
This original engraving is of “St. Giles” ….”The Winner of the Derby Stakes at Epsom, 1832” shown with his victorious rider or jockey…Bill Scott.
The engraving reports that of the 1832 Derby Stakes at Epsom…there were 101 Subscribers of which 22 started.
St. Giles’ breeding is recorded on the print as being “Got by Tramp out of Arcot Lass by Ardrossan her dam by Cramlington out of Floyerkin by Stride’.
The Owner of St. Giles is recorded as ” The Property of Mr. Risdale'”.
“To Whom this Print by permission is most respectfully dedicated by the Publishers…. J.F. Herring & S & J Fuller”.
“London published August 12th 1832 by S. & J. Fuller, at their Sporting Gallery, 34 Rathbone Place and J.F. Herring, Six Mile Bottom near Newmarket “.
“Painted by J.F. Herring, Newmarket”.
This Aquantint beautifully captures the Winning Horse and Jockey that were victorious in the 1832 running of the Derby Stakes at Epsom by John Frederick Herring, Sr.., one of Great Britain’s most renown sporting artists who did commissioned work for the Duchess of Kent and Queen Victoria. Herring’s Original aquatint, hand-colored prints are EXTREMELY POPULAR and HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER.
Condition is consistent with it’s age and is superb for it’s age.
The engraving has been professionally framed in a dark walnut frame, with acid free matting and backing. Silver edging on the internal matte surround. The frame has anti-glare glass. The framing alone cost over $1,000.
We would not recommend any restoration to this print.
We are of the opinion that this is an original engraving. It was in the same ‘lot’ as an original ‘Proof’ engraving of ‘Foig-a-Ballagh’ by Hall (also in our Collection). It was originally acquired in Ireland in the 1960’s.
Provenance: Bought from a Collector in Kentucky. - More Information
