Charles XII, the Winner of the Great St. Leger Stakes at Doncaster, 1839
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a momentous victory in horse racing history. Depicting Charles XII, an exceptional racehorse owned by Major Yarburgh, this image immortalizes his triumph at the prestigious Great St. Leger Stakes held in Doncaster in 1839. Engraved by Charles Hunt and published by S. & J. Fuller that same year, this aquatint print showcases the remarkable talent of John Frederick Herring Snr as he masterfully recreates the thrilling scene on paper. The focal point of this artwork is undoubtedly Charles XII himself, with his sleek coat glistening under the sunlight as he gallops towards glory. Guided by jockey P. Connelly atop Euclid, their partnership is evident through their synchronized movements and unwavering determination to cross that finish line first. Intricately detailed and expertly crafted, every stroke of Herring's engraving brings life to this historic event. The atmosphere is electric as spectators cheer from afar while witnessing a true champion emerge victorious. As we gaze upon this piece from a private collection today, it serves as a testament to both equine athleticism and human dedication within the world of horse racing during the early 19th century.
