This Victorian wall art piece comprises a 19th-century chromolithograph on paper, presented within a hand wash-lined mount board frame under glass with a wooden border. The coloured print depicts caricatures of jockeys in colourful racing silks mounted on horses in motion during a race, with a grandstand visible in the background and horses rendered in brown tones against a muted grey-green field. The composition includes multiple riders wearing caps and jackets in contrasting shades of yellow, blue, red, and white, alongside distinct facial expressions and riding crops held aloft. Measuring 33 cm high, 49 cm wide, and 0.5 cm deep, the item suits placement as a gentleman's library decoration above a sideboard in a study or hallway.

FAQs

Vanity Fair was a British weekly publication active from 1868 to 1914 that featured full-page and double-page chromolithograph caricatures of prominent contemporary figures, including politicians, athletes, and society personalities.

Chromolithography involved transferring drawings onto lithographic limestone or zinc plates, with a separate stone prepared for each distinct colour layer before sequentially printing onto paper.

Authentic period prints exhibit continuous colour tones and fine grain under magnification rather than modern halftone dot matrices, and often feature central fold lines if originally issued as double-page magazine inserts.

Equestrian prints function effectively when hung as focal features above sideboards or grouped along hallways, adding tailored historical detail to traditional studies and living spaces.

Paper prints require framing with acid-free mount boards and UV-protective glass, positioned away from direct sunlight and damp conditions to prevent fading and foxing.
