LEGER WINNERS,

DERBY, OAKS, AND LEGER

AND OF OTHER HORSES CELEBRATED FOR THEIR PERFORMANCES.

For this purpose they have engaged the talents of Mr. J. F. HERRING, Sen., so well known as the celebrated Horse-painter. The likeness and execution of each is acknowledged to be perfection. The size of the Portraits is much larger, and, as Works of Art, are much superior to anything hitherto published.

No. 1.-BEE'S-WING. £1 1s.

"IT is amongst the best, if it be not the very best, of the portraits of race-horses ever painted. It is a perfect representation of the celebrated and wonderful mare, Bee's-wing, perhaps the best that ever ran at Ascot, or, indeed, over any other course. Mr. Herring has given a characteristic portrait, full of identity and life; the picture, moreover, is full of pictorial merit as a work of art; the lights are admirably managed, the very horse-clothes, the litter, and the things which are to be seen in racing stables, are all introduced, and made subservient to general effect. The print will be an excellent addition to portfolios and the walls of the rooms of sporting men, and men of taste."-Times.

"She is taken in her loose box, with her lively eye turned as it were on the visitor, who may be presumed to have popped in to take a peep at the pride of Northumbria. All the known points of this model of a mare are accurately presented, and her splendid rich bay delineated to perfection; her quarters are accurately pourtrayed, and she is placed (that great difficulty) naturally, and therefore gracefully, on her legs."-Era. No. 2.-CHARLES XII. £1 1s.
