Descrizione
London, Ackermann, 1837. Four hand-coloured aquatint plates. Broadsheets, oblong (42 x 64 cm), in uniform frames with gilt borders. Each frame size 62.5 x 82.0 cm. = Four rare images after the paintings by James Pollard (1792-1867) commemorating this great race. With the following captions: "Anticipation. Who is the winner?"; "Approbation. Off in good shape"; "Vexation - The false start"; "Joy and desperation! - All over but settling". Single plates are rather rare, complete sets are very rare. Some light spotting, small chip to one frame corner, otherwise very good. The frames are from a renowned Dutch firm, Heijdenrijk, in The Hague and Amsterdam, founded in 1845 and still active.
