This framed print originates from the early 20th century, created in the sporting art style by Charlie Johnson Payne, known as Snaffles. The artwork is executed on paper using a printed technique with heavy hand-coloring, showcasing a beige background tone and an equestrian subject depicting a side-saddle rider clearing a timber fence on a brown horse. Details visible on the piece include a hand-written title and signature in pencil, alongside a simple ebonised black wooden frame with a square profile. The item measures 39.5 cm high, 33.5 cm wide, and 1.5 cm deep in practical terms. It finds a functional home placement in a traditional English country interior, specifically positioned above a sideboard.

FAQs

Snaffles was the pseudonym of Charles Johnson Payne (18841967), a British artist renowned for his humorous and detailed depictions of military, equestrian, and fox hunting subjects during the early to mid-20th century.

These prints were generally produced using lithographic or photogravure printing methods on heavy paper stock, often hand-coloured, and mounted behind glass within timber frames.

Authentic prints often feature publisher blindstamps, pencil signatures in the margin, distinct plate marks, and natural signs of age such as gentle paper toning or light foxing.

An equestrian print works well as part of a gallery wall in a hallway or study, contrasting against contemporary painted walls or complementing dark wood panelling in a traditional scheme.

Display paper prints away from direct sunlight and high humidity, framing them with UV-protective glass and acid-free mount boards to prevent fading and discoloration.
