Vale of Aylesbury Steeplechase, Plate I — Framed Sporting Engraving
A spirited English sporting engraving depicting the Vale of Aylesbury steeplechase on February 11, 1836, near Black Grove Farm. Horses and riders clear fences across the countryside, while a dramatic spill at the left fence brings movement and character to the scene. Racers depicted include Yellow Dwarf, Coma, Vivian, and Grimaldi.
After a painting by British sporting artist Francis Calcraft Turner, engraved by George and Charles Hunt, and originally published by John Moore of London.
Tastefully presented in a textured, dark carved wood frame with a wide neutral mat, this piece lends classic English country house charm to a study, library, or equestrian-inspired gallery wall.
Overall framed dimensions: 19″ × 15″.
