22 coloured aquatint engravings. Each image c.95 x 67mm (3¾ x 2½"). Light foxing.
22 plates from 'Portraits of Winning Horses, a Series of Portraits of the Winners of the Derby, Oaks, & St. Leger, From the Year 1842 to 1849. Drawn from Nature and Engraved by Charles Hunt Esqr'. The volume, depicting the winners of the 3 great races over 8 years, was published by Rock Brothers & Payne in 1849. Although the series calls for 24 plates both Siltzer and Lane record only 22 plates, as here: therefore it is probable that only 22 plates were published.
