A rider standing in his stirrups holding two sabres. The print was described by the Sporting Magazine in January 1806: ''The subject of this beautiful Engraving is Mr. John Goldham, Field-Adjutant of the London Cavalry, going through the six divisions of the Austrian Broad-sword Exercise with a sabre in each hand, when riding at the rate of thirty miles an hour; which he performed for a bet of 200 guineas, before several military characters of the first eminence; and, to the great astonishment of the beholders, he made the cuts with admirable effect and precision, and won the bet with great ease. As a proof of his superior horsemanship, he went through one of the divisions while going over a five-barred gate, to the wonder and terror of all present. It is here but justice to notice, that, at the request of several noblemen and military officers who were present, a large painting has been taken by Dean Wolstenholme, who has succeeded in the manner of action and likeness of both man and horse so happily, that the best judges pronounce it - a picture of great merit''.
