EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the triumphant moment of Don John, the magnificent winner of the Great St. Leger Stakes at Doncaster in 1838. Engraved by Charles Hunt and published by S. & J. Fuller, this aquatint artwork showcases the exceptional talent and skill of renowned artist Herring Snr, John Frederick. Measuring 30.5x41.9 cm, this exquisite piece is part of a private collection with an intriguing history - once owned by the Earl of Chesterfield himself. The image transports us back to a time when horse racing was not only a thrilling sport but also a symbol of prestige and social status. As we gaze upon this remarkable scene, our eyes are drawn to Don John's powerful physique as he gallops across the track with grace and determination. The jockey, William Scott, expertly guides his mount towards victory amidst fierce competition from other skilled riders. The attention to detail in this engraving is truly remarkable; every muscle on Don John's body seems to ripple with energy as he propels forward towards glory. The racecourse itself comes alive with excitement as spectators cheer on their favorite horses from elegant grandstands lining the track. This historic artwork serves as a testament to both artistic mastery and sporting excellence, capturing an unforgettable moment in equestrian history that continues to inspire awe even today.
