EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century engraving takes us back in time to the world of horse racing, showcasing the magnificent racehorse Wasp and her proud owner. Created by Edward Hacker in 1861, this antique steel engraving captures the essence of a remarkable mare who left an indelible mark on the sport. Wasp, born in 1839, was sired by Muley Moloch, a formidable stallion renowned for his victories on northern English racetracks during the 1830s. This portrait immortalizes Wasp's elegance and strength as she stands alongside her devoted owner. The text accompanying this enchanting image reveals that Wasp was not only a celebrated racehorse herself but also an exceptional dam. Her offspring included Neasham, Nettle, and Shot – all winners in their own right. Neasham triumphed in the prestigious two-mile Northumberland Plate while Nettle claimed victory in the Gimcrack Stakes. Published by Rogerson & Tuxford of London, this engraving originally graced the pages of Sporting Review magazine. Its detailed craftsmanship showcases every nuance of Wasp's profile with precision and artistry. As we gaze upon this historic artwork today, we are transported to an era when horse racing reigned supreme as both a thrilling sport and a symbol of prestige. The timeless beauty captured within these engraved lines reminds us of the enduring legacy left behind by extraordinary equine athletes like Wasp.
