EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph depicts an English Thoroughbred horse, scientifically known as Equus caballus var. anglicanus, in the midst of a thrilling steeplechase race. The image is taken from Georg Friedrich Treitschke's "Gallery of Natural History," published in Liepzig, Germany, in 1842. The vignette surrounding the horse illustrates the excitement and energy of a horse race, with jockeys in colorful attire urging their mounts forward and spectators cheering in the background. The English Thoroughbred is a breed of horse that originated in the 17th and 18th centuries through selective breeding of Arabian horses with native English mares. Known for their speed, agility, and endurance, Thoroughbreds have been the breed of choice for horse racing for centuries. In this lithograph, the horse's powerful muscles and sleek coat are on full display as it leaps over the steeplechase obstacles with ease. The intricate detail and vibrant colors of this handcoloured lithograph make it a stunning representation of the beauty and grace of the English Thoroughbred horse. The image offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when horse racing was a popular pastime and the Thoroughbred was the epitome of equine excellence.
