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.
Siltzer p. 248.
