The Return from a Course on Lambourn Downs near Ashdown Park, a Hunting Seat of the Right Honourable Fulwar Lord Craven.
J. Seymour Pinx.t. Walker Sculp.t.
London Printed for Rob.t Sayer, at the Golden Buck near Serjeants Inn Fleet Street. [n.d., c.1750.]
Very scarce engraving. Framed. Printed area: 440 x 320mm (17¼ x 12¼"). Frame size: 455 x 570mm (17¾ x 22½"). Unexamined out of frame.
A scene depicting Lord Fulwar Craven, on horse back, in profile to the right, dressed in hunting costume with a view of Ashdown House in the background. The house was built by William Earl Craven (supposedly for Elizabeth of Bohemia, sister of Charles I, but she died before construction was started). It was gifted by the family to the National Trust in 1956 and is now tenanted by Pete Townsend of 'The Who', who has undertaken a substantial renovation. Another attendant to the hunt is also on a horse, behind to the left. A huntsman with a dead hare is standing before him, with two greyhounds and a smaller horse. Fulwar Craven, 4th Baron Craven, was an English nobleman and sportsman who was educated at Rugby School and Magdalen College, Oxford. He was famously fond of racing and hunting, hunting on his Berkshire estates at Hamstead Marshall and Ashdown Park, keeping his own stud of racehorses and founding a racecourse at Lambourn. He and his brother William founded the Craven Hunt.

Spark, a famous Hunter which was presented to the Prince of Wales by M.r Fleetwood, after his Royal Highness had done riding him, he was kept as a Stallion in his Majesties Stud at Hampton Court.
James Seymour Pinx. R. Parr Sculp.
Publish'd by John Bowles according to Act of Parliam.t July 4, 1743.
Etching. Sheet 185 x 200mm (7¼ x 8"). Trimmed into plate on three sides, some scuffing and wear, laid on archival paper.
Spark, a decendant of the Darly Arabian, was given by Charles Fleetwood to Frederick Louis, Prince of Wales. He later passed the horse to Lord Baltimore to give to Samuel Ogle, Governor of Maryland, who took the horse to Maryland in 1747. Thus Spark became the first thoroughbred stallion in the colony and the beginning of the American purebred development at the Belair Stud. Probably from the series 'Seventeen Famous Race Horses' engraved by Regimius Parr, mentioned by Siltzer but not listed or dated. As Spark was foaled in 1743 the publication line here is suspect.
