EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts Jonathas, the triumphant winner of the inaugural Fontainebleau Stakes in 1862. The image showcases the elegant brown horse, Jonathas, with his powerful build and muscular frame, reflecting his excellent racing qualities. Jonathas is sired by Sting and his dam is Deerchase. The jockey, J. Watkins, proudly sits atop Jonathas, clad in M. Shickler's colours. The jockey's white jacket is adorned with cherry-coloured sleeves and cap, adding a pop of colour to the otherwise monochromatic scene. The Fontainebleau Stakes, held in Fontainebleau, France, was a prestigious horse race during the 19th century. This print, published in the Illustrated London News, captures the excitement and grandeur of the event. The intricate engraving technique brings the horse and jockey to life, with every detail meticulously rendered. The background is left blank, allowing the focus to remain on the central figures. The print is attributed to the renowned engraver, Frederic Theodore Lix, although the exact identity of the creator remains unknown. Lix was a prolific artist, known for his detailed and precise engravings of horses and other subjects. This print is a testament to his skill and artistry. The Fontainebleau Stakes marked the beginning of an illustrious career for Jonathas, and this print serves as a lasting reminder of his victory. The print is a valuable addition to any collection of historical horse racing memorabilia or art, and is a testament to the enduring appeal of the sport.
