A dramatic scene after Arthur Tait full of movement: a pair of retrievers quest for their master's quarry one successful holds aloft a bird the second has spotted the second injured bird. In the background their master urges them on.<br/> <br/> Tait spent the first three decades of his life in England and arrived in New York in 1850. A follower of Edwin Landseer and the style of the Pre-Raphaelites he established himself as a realistic painter of animals and sporting scenes. He kept a summer studio at a camp in the Adirondack Mountains where he painted sporting scenes. He and Nathaniel Currier sometimes hunted together. 'These wilderness scenes often composed around an anecdote appealed to a wide popular audience and from 1852 Currier & Ives as well as Louis Prang published a number of lithographs and chromolithographs of his work.'

A fine copy of this excellent late example of the racing aquatint.<br/> <br/> The heyday of the racing aquatint in Britain was probably about 1830 but the present example shows that the art had not died out even sixty years later. The print is unfortunately unsigned but aside from the process used the style of painting is charming and recalls the work of John Frederick Herring and his contemporaries. J. Braill & Son unknown

18025174London: Harding 1802. Aquatint coloured by hand on laid paper watermark '1802' Publication line at foot of plate shaved with slight loss. Image size: 16 3/4 x 23 1/2 inches. An anonymous work of quality.<br/> <br/> Unusually the present work does not include either the artist responsible for the original or the engraver who worked on the plate. The publication line is very faint: sometimes an indication of a later issue but the early watermark does not support this. None of the standard reference works include either this print or mention of the horse Sacripant. This suggests that this image is rare and the absence of names allied with the early watermark may indicate some sort of proof issue. Harding unknown
