EDITORS COMMENTS
By Order of the Owner - Lot 1. Kitty, Chestnut Mare: A Humorous Take on the Horse Sale by Lance Thackeray (1902) In this delightfully satirical postcard by Lance Thackeray, we find ourselves at the bustling scene of a horse sale. The focus of the auction is Lot 1, a stunning chestnut mare named Kitty. The description of the horse, penned with a wink and a smile, reads, "By Order of the Owner - Lot 1. Kitty, Chestnut Mare (property of a lady - very fast)." The artist's use of humor is evident in the exaggerated admiration of the gentleman in the foreground, who gazes longingly at the horse, a bottle of champagne in hand. His stylish attire, complete with monocle and top hat, is a testament to the fashionable air of the horse sale. The lady owner, clad in a long red coat, stands regally beside her prized possession, her arms folded in a confident posture. The horse, Kitty, looks on with an air of nonchalance, seemingly amused by the attention she is receiving. Thackeray's use of color and composition adds to the overall charm of the scene. The rich reds and browns of the horse and the lady's coat contrast beautifully with the muted tones of the background, drawing the viewer's eye to the main subjects. This postcard, dated 1902, is a charming reminder of the lighter side of horse sales and the playful way in which they were depicted during that era. Thackeray's use of satire and humor adds a delightful touch to this image.
