EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "To Be Sold With All His Engagements-The Famous Race Horse Woolsack, June 29,1829" captures a whimsical and satirical depiction of the renowned racehorse Woolsack. Created by William Heath in the 19th century, this colorful etching showcases his talent for caricature and humor. In this artwork, we see Woolsack transformed into a centaur-like creature with the head of politician John Singleton Copley, who later became the 1st Baron Lyndhurst. The fusion of man and horse creates a mythical beast that symbolizes both power and absurdity. Heath's satire is evident as he pokes fun at the world of politics and horse racing. By portraying Lord Lyndhurst as a racehorse with all his engagements up for sale, he comments on the corrupt nature of political dealings during that time. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable; every element in the composition contributes to its overall impact. From Woolsack's saddle adorned with political symbols to Paul Pry (a popular character from British theater) observing from behind a tree, each aspect adds layers to the narrative. This print is part of The Metropolitan Museum of Art collection and serves as an important historical document showcasing not only William Heath's artistic prowess but also providing insight into British society during this period.
