Victorian 19th C. British Lithograph of "the Races" Reverse Glass Matte Ca. 1875

About the Item

Wonderful polychromed lithograph under glass with reverse glass hand painted gold gilt rectangular double lined border, along with a hand painted black matte; unique; I have not seen this before. Scene is full of action depicting a country Sunday horse racing event in the English countryside; a traditional 19th century occurrence with the British aristocracy at that time. The picture is replete with the proverbial festivities of nobility on horseback; in full gallop etc, along with flag raising, and spectators watching the action near the finish line, and the usual pomp and circumstance for such an activity. Unusual to find this presentation of an art form with the reverse glass black matting and gold outline; so much so that renowned Newman galleries thought enough of the picture to offer it from their inventory in their Philadelphia showrooms. They were in business from 1865; a well respected art gallery that sold works of art for over 150 years (see image with label affixed to rear). Dimensions: 14 1/2" x 21" x 1 1/4" deep (glass matte and lithograph) 18" x 24 1/4" x 1 1/4" deep (with the 2" frame) Provenance: From my own personal collection of art, furniture, and collectibles Note: Basically this is "one of a pair" which are different enough to offer separately, but similar enough that a collector might want the both of them. This one is depicts approaching the finish line while the other one portrays mid race.
