Plan of the Aintree Race Ground, near Liverpool. Shewing the various Courses. 1842.
Drawn & Engraved by G. Tattersall.
London. Published March 1st 1842 by R. Ackermann, 191 Regent Street.
Rare etching, platemark 160 x 250mm (6¼ x 9¾").
Aintree Racecourse near Liverpool. The hotelier and sports promoter William Lynn (1792-1870), who had leased the Waterloo Hotel in Aintree in 1820, leased the racecourse in 1829 (probably as a way of attracting customers to his hotel), erected a grandstand, and was soon organizing three meetings a year. By the time this print was published, however, the artistocracy had become involved. Lynn's name had been removed from the card (he was declared bankrupt in 1844), and the 'Grand National', first run in February 1839, was officially adopted in 1847 for the national racing event at the course.

Firzopur, India on the banks of the Sutlej River was of great strategic importance to the British during the First Anglo-Sikh War. This particular racing event was during the time of Edward Law, 1st Earl of Ellenborough (1790-1871) who was Governor-General of India between 1842 and 1844. His governance was riddled with criticism as Ellenborough was sent to “restore peace to Asia” but the whole term of his office was occupied by war. These races took place in the December of his first year. When Ellenborough arrived, he discussed the possibilities of a military occupation of the Punjab, and soon after infantry reinforcements began to arrive at the frontier posts of Firozpur and Ludhiana.

Horse and jockey; other horses in background. From 'Études de chevaux d'après nature' (1822) by Théodore Géricault (1791-1824). Prior to 1822, Géricault had been able to live without much thought to the saleability of his works owing to a comfortable annuity he received following the death of his mother. However, the loss of part of his fortune in 1822 required him to produce work designed to appeal to dealers and collectors, with pictures of horses forming a large part of his output at this time (although he had painted horses throughout his brief career). Before making this print, Géricault had recently spent time in England where he imitated the popular English racing picture in his 'Epsom Downs Derby' (Louvre).

"Bay Malton was got by Sampson his Dam by Old Cade, his Grand Dam by Old Traveller, his Great Grand Dam..............Gimcrack was got by Cripple, a Son of Lord Godolphin's late Arabian, jis Dam by Grisewood Partner, a Son of Old-Partner, got by Jigg..."
Fra. Sartorius pinx. R. Houston del et fecit.

Scarce mezzotint, 18th century watermark, 335 x 455mm (13 x 17¾"). Tears in margins, abrasions and creases in image all repaired. Small margins.
Francis Sartorius 1734-1804, John's son and pupil, was born in 1734. His first important work was a portrait of a racehorse owned by the Duke of Grafton. Other portraits followed including Bay Malton, for the Marquis of Rockingham. Sartorius was a prolific and a favourite of the racing fraternity. To various London galleries he contributed thirty-eight works, including twelve to the Royal Academy. He lived in Soho, lastly, at 17 Gerrard Street and he died on 5 March 1804, in his seventieth year. Houston, Richard 1721?-1775, mezzotint engraver, born in Dublin about 1721, became a pupil of John Brooks, who was also the master of McArdell and Spooner. Like his fellow-pupils, he possessed much natural talent, and led a dissipated life. He came to London about 1747, where he fell into debt being imprisoned in Fleet Prison. Robert Sayer paid his debts and it wasn't until after 1760 that Houston was free of his commitment to Sayer. Bay Malton:Prior to the start of his second season on the turf Bay Malton was purchased by Charles Watson-Wentworth, 2nd Marquis of Rockingham. A stout and honest runner he was started only once or twice each season and had a lengthy and lucrative career. He earned his owner and his backers huge sums of money although his finest victory was likely that at York in 1766 where he set a new course record. He lost only two races, both of them in his final two seasons. He retired to Lord Rockingham's stud at Wentworth Woodhouse, near Rotherham, Yorkshire, where he stood privately. He left no stock that bred on although he sired a few runners, including Mr. Preston's Flaunter. Bay Malton died at Wentworth in 1786. Gimcrack: Making his first start at Epsom in 1764 he won all seven of his races that year. Among his victories at Newmarket was the Whip, allegedly given by Charles 2nd and later said to include hair from the mane and tail of Eclipse. Throughout his active turf career he ran in nearly forty races, the majority of them in heats and over long distances. He was beaten only ten times in eight years. In 1766 when owned by Count Lauraguais he performed the remarkable feat of running twenty-two and a half miles in one hour in France. He is still remembered today for his racing excellence and commemorated by the Gimcrack Stakes held at York,

Newmarket, Collection d'onze planches lithographiques... A Collection of Eleven Plates, Executed in Lithography; Representing a View of Newmarket, and the Life of the Race Horse, from the moment of his entering the stud until that of his sale...
by A Dubost, formerly Adjutant Captain of the Corps du Genie...
Paris: to be had of the Author, Quai de Bully, No 18. 1818. Printed by J. Smith.
Oblong folio, red half morocco with red cloth, spine gilt lettered and decorated; letterpress title in French and English, lithographic frontispiece and plates I-V [of X] with letterpress descriptions. Spine worn, plate v tipped onto back endpaper, lacking five plates and their text, some spotting.
Six plates from a very scarce album of lithographs of Newmarket which, according to the frontispiece, includes portraits of the 'most celebrated running horses in 1809', some descended from the Godolphin arabian. The plates are: the frontispiece; Colts - the race horse in the stud; Colt - the race horse taken in hand; Plover by Sir Peter [Teazle] - the race horse in the stable; Eaton by sir Peter - the race horse in the dressing stable; & Vandyke by sir Peter - the racehorse at the starting post. Antoine Dubost (1769-1825) was a neoclassical painter with a penchant for racing, owning and riding horses in a number of important races. Having served in the Corps du Genie (enginneers) he came to England in 1806, attracted by the racing at Newmarket, painting the originals of these plates in 1809, before returning to France in 1813. He fought a duel with a neighbour over a pavilion in which both participants were killed.
