About the Item
Title: 1802 Hand-Colored Print of English Racing Horse and Race Track Scene
Description: This finely detailed hand-colored copperplate engraving from Friedrich Johann Bertuch's "Bilderbuch für Kinder" (Picture Book for Children), published in Weimar in 1802, features two captivating equestrian-themed images. The first depicts an elegant English racing horse or courser, a breed known for its speed and agility, standing in profile against a minimal natural background. The animal's form is rendered with precision, emphasizing its muscular structure and refined posture.
Below, a lively scene unfolds at an English horse race track, capturing the dynamic energy of riders and horses mid-race. The composition is rich with action: jockeys urging their mounts forward, a rider falling from his horse, and spectators observing the thrilling event. This scene offers a glimpse into the 19th-century fascination with horse racing as a sport and social event.
The engraving demonstrates the artistry of copperplate printing, where intricate details are etched into a metal plate, inked, and transferred to paper. Hand-coloring adds vibrancy to this antique piece, enhancing its visual appeal and historical significance.
This print is not only a celebration of equestrian art but also a testament to early 19th-century cultural interests. Its dual focus on the beauty of the individual horse and the excitement of the race track makes it a unique and engaging collector's item.
Condition: Light foxing and slight edge wear consistent with age; colors remain vivid.
Tips for matting and framing: Highlight the dual imagery with a double-window mat in a neutral tone. Use a sleek black or mahogany frame to complement its equestrian elegance. Consider UV-protective glass for preservation.
