This intricately detailed engraving, titled "Steeplechase in Beds" and printed in England in 1840, features a group of over a dozen horses and jockeys in the countryside. I love the dramatic, energetic gestures of both horses and riders. It is a lively piece that instantly caught my eye at a high street antique print shop in the Peak District last fall.

Dimensions: 

• Artwork approximately 4.75" tall by 6.5" wide 
• Frame Overall: 11.25" tall by 13.25" wide

Condition: 

Engraving is in excellent condition with slight darkening of the paper in areas due to age (bottom left corner and top center).

The engraving has been carefully framed in a lovely repurposed vintage frame. The frame has some chips to the finish in areas. Each framing element is archival: from the museum grade mat and backing board, to the traditional mulberry paper mounting hinges, to the dust cover on the back of the frame.
