George Stubbs "Volunteer" Racehorse Engraving

19th century
Description

"Volunteer" the racehorse ran between 1783 and 1786, originally under the name "Cornet." He won the Cumberland Subscription Stakes of 1100 guineas and also at 3 won at Basingstoke and Ascot, and a forfeit match at Newmarket. At age 5, now running under the name Volunteer, he won a 100 guineas sweep at Newmarket, beating Champion and others, and won two other matches, his only other races that year, and later became a successful sire. This fine example of the engraving by George Townly Stubbs measures 16"x 20" and is framed giving an overall size of 20"x 24". Below is the publication line "Republished June 4th 1817 by Edw. Orme"

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.
