Fore’s Steeple Chase Scenes. London: Messrs. Fores, [1848].

Remarkably clean suite of plates illustrating scenes from various steeplechases. Each plate is captioned below with the name of the jump depicted and a small verse which acts as a racing commentary, animatedly narrating the illustrated scene.

Oblong folio (455 x 626mm). 6 aquatint plates, finished in contemporary hand-colour and heightened with gum arabic, loose as issued. Original lithographic wrappers, front wrapper decorated with green roll tool decorative border and ornate foliate corner pieces, rear wrapper with publisher’s ads (small marginal tears to wrappers, larger tear to front wrapper repaired with tape); housed in modern brown cloth clamshell box with brown morocco label to cover, lettered and decorated in gilt (extremities lightly rubbed).
