About the Item

These are 19th-century equine prints depicting notable racehorses titled "Pandora," "Canteen," "Mulatto," and "Chateau Margaux." They are in the style of British equine portraiture, which was popular in the 19th century to celebrate the significant racehorses of the time. Description of Horses: 1. Pandora: - Pandora was likely a well-known racehorse from the early 19th century. Horses named Pandora have appeared in several historical contexts, often indicating successful racing lineage. The print shows Pandora in a stable, reflecting her readiness and association with racing or breeding. 2. Canteen: - Canteen appears again here, as in the previous compilation. The horse is depicted in a landscape scene, which was common for famous racehorses that were celebrated for their achievements. Canteen might have been less widely known than horses like Highflyer but still warranted attention due to noteworthy performances on the track. 3. Mulatto: - The name "Mulatto" was often used in the 19th century and could indicate a prominent racehorse known during that period. Mulatto is depicted in a stable, with features that were favored in racing horse breeds at the time, suggesting a connection to the Thoroughbred lineage. 4. Chateau Margaux: - "Chateau Margaux" was a racehorse named after the famous French wine estate, which hints at the trend of bestowing horses with names that evoke prestige and quality. Horses like Chateau Margaux were likely considered high-quality racers or breeders, commemorated in print to celebrate their importance. Publication and Style: These prints were published by R. Ackermann, a known print publisher based in London during the 19th century. The dates mentioned in the engravings range from the 1820s to the early 1830s: - **Pandora**: Published in June 1828. - **Canteen**: Published in December 1828. - **Mulatto**: Published in August 1829. - **Chateau Margaux**: Published in June 1829. These prints are finely colored and were created using a combination of engraving and hand-coloring techniques, typical of equine prints of this era. Artists and engravers like J. Zeitter, J. Webb, and others were involved in the creation of such prints, adding to their value as historical artworks that captured the legacy of significant racehorses of their time. The interest in horse racing and equine breeding during the 19th century led to the production of such works, which were collected by enthusiasts and served as decorative pieces celebrating the sport's heritage. The details of the stable or natural settings indicate an appreciation for the environment in which these horses lived and performed.
