Two subscriber's proofs, with title and text in both French and English, aquatint engravings, part-printed in colours à la poupà e, and finished with fine original hand-colouring, heightened with gum-arabic, each c.530 x 730 mm., framed and glazed. This dramatic pair amply captures the excitement of this famous race, when the four finest race horses bred in France at the time were pitted against each other over two and a half miles, in three heats. The eventual winner was the 5 year old Rocquencourt, by Logic out of Contrition, owned by the Duc d'Orlà ans, to whom the prints are dedicated by the publisher, John Moore. Rocquencourt won two of the three heats, in the process achieving the fastest time then recorded for a French horse over the distance, of 4 minutes and 42 seconds. He beat Oakstick, belonging to Lord Seymour, Vendredi, owned by Baron de Rothschild, and M. de Saran's horse, Quine. All four are depicted here in full flight in the first plate, where we also see the crowd of gentry and nobility being entertained by acrobats and other side shows, and at the finishing line in front of the grand stand, the moment when Rocquefort won the last heat by a neck. Charles Hunt (1803-1877) is a very familiar name to collectors in the hugely popular field of sporting prints, here engaged by one of the most prominent publishers of such prints, John Moore, to translate the combined work of the landscape artist, George Bryant Campion (1795-1870), and one of the century's finest portrait painters of horses, John Frederick Herring Snr. (1795-1865).

Grey-toned aquatint, by J. Harris, 'Gambart & Co. London' blindstamp to lower left (expert repairs to upper margin). Image: 17 3/4 x 27 3/4; sheet: 23 1/4 x 32 1/4 inches. A large scale print of a brilliantly realised farmyard by moonlight 'Night' is a beautifully engraved image from John Frederick Herring's series of farm scenes. Herring is an outstanding and imaginative artist who at an early age showed an aptitude for handling both riding whip and pencil. At a young age, fate took Herring to the Doncaster races where he saw the Duke of Hamilton's horse, William, win the St. Leger. The sight inspired him to attempt the art of animal-painting, in which he subsequently excelled. In addition to being a successful horse painter, Herring made his livelihood as a coachman, and for some time drove the Highflyer coach between London and York. When eventually he retired as a coachman he immediately obtained numerous commissions and was able to devote himself entirely to his art. Herring had no education in art until he definitely set up as an artist, when he worked for a short time in the studio of Abraham Cooper, R.A. He painted an immense number of racing, coaching, and other sporting subjects, many of which were published by the sporting printsellers and the sporting magazines. He was a frequent exhibitor at the Royal Academy and the Society of British Artists; he was elected a member of the latter society in 1841. While in later life he painted a number of subject-pictures, it was as a portrait-painter of racehorses that Herring earned his fame, and no great breeder or owner of racehorses is without some treasured production of Herring's brush. In this superb, evocative scene, all the light is provided by the moon which is probably full as the barnyard seems qute active. Furtive figures move around in the silvery light, humans and animals well known to and comfortable with one another, all immersed in but not cognizant of the strange, wonderful night.

Aquatint, printed in colours and finished by hand, by Thomas Sutherland (Watermark '1825'). From the original 'Doncaster Gazette' series of the 'Winners of the Great St. Leger Series': a 'benchmark' sporting print in terms of the "quality of painting, engraving and printing" (Lane) "In 1825 The Doncaster Gazette commissioned Herring to paint a series of pictures of the winners of the St. Leger starting in 1815. W. Sheardown and Sons of Doncaster published these brilliantly engraved prints (by Thomas Sutherland) in 1825. Messrs Fuller of London. continued the series until the mid-1840s. Fullers also published a similar series of Derby winners after Herring's paintings between 1827 and 1841. These prints provide a 'benchmark' in their quality of painting, engraving and printing which subsequent publishers attempted to emulate, but rarely with such success" (Lane) Herring is an outstanding and imaginative artist who at an early age showed an aptitude for handling both riding whip and pencil.
