EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Marske, 1750-1779" takes us back to the picturesque countryside of 18th century Britain. The image showcases a magnificent thoroughbred racehorse named Marske, who gained fame as the sire of the legendary Eclipse. This historic photograph is part of the esteemed collection British Sports and Sportsmen, published in London in 1911. The monochrome composition beautifully captures Marske's powerful presence against the backdrop of nature. His sleek black coat glistens under natural light, exuding strength and elegance. The portrait was expertly captured by John Hutton, an accomplished artist known for his ability to immortalize horses on canvas. In this particular scene, Marske stands tall with a regal demeanor while being held by William Augustus Cumberland, also known as Butcher Cumberland. Cumberland was a prominent figure in horse racing circles during that era and played a significant role in promoting equestrian sports. This remarkable print not only celebrates Marske's legacy but also pays homage to the rich heritage of horse racing literature and artistry prevalent at that time. It serves as a testament to the enduring fascination humans have had with these majestic creatures throughout history.
