HORSE RACING. </strong><em>Gibraltar</em><em> Garrison Races. </em><em>Tuesday 3d May 1831</em><em>. To Start at Half-Past </em><em>One O'Clock</em><em>. </em>Small 4to broadside on yellow satin 9 ¾ x 6 3/8" edges fringed. Gibraltar: 1831. </p><p>The day's program and a very rare souvenir of early horse racing at the British garrison of Gibraltar. "I cannot find any record of any formal horse racing on the isthmus or elsewhere in the Campo arc prior to 1765 but the enormous popularity of the Calpe Hunt which established itself as a major institution in Gibraltar in the very early 19th century will undoubtedly have led to impromptu races from time to time and may have been the catalyst for organizing a more formal approach to racing. As early as 1838 Charles Rochfort Scott a Royal Artillery officer stationed in Gibraltar was singing the praises of horse racing on the Rock…From this one might gather that formal racing probably did not begin until after 1821 but that it was definitely in full swing in 1839 by which time it had become a pretty full blooded affair with a considerable number of horses taking part. It also seems to have been an activity in which only the officers of the garrison were allowed to indulge."-Neville Chipolina <em>The People of Gibraltar </em>online which includes a long quote from an article by "Nimrod" Charles James Apperley in Thomas Hook's <em>New Monthly Magazine and Humorist: 1841 Part the Second </em>pp. 42-43 which says "Twenty years back who would have dreamed of races at Gibraltar! Such however is the case now…"</p><p>Owners names given as are weights names of horses and colors. The first three races were Sweepstakes the first "A Handicap Sweepstakes h.f. for all horses. Heats—The Don Mile 5 contestants; the second "for Ponies not exceeding 14 hands high Heats—From Bay-side In 5 contestants; the third "Barbs and English horses excluded Heats—The Don Mile 3 contestants; the last "A Match—The Don Mile" with only two horses listed to run. Horse racing in Gibraltar was included in a novel by Arthur Griffiths entitled <em>Lola: A Tale of Gibraltar </em>NY: 1877. Folded and a little dusty else nearly fine.</p>

185099561850. Horse and carriage ambrotype circa 1850-1859 documents mid-19th century American civilian transportation and rural social life during the decade immediately preceding and encompassing the early Civil War period. The image holds research value for the study of early photographic practice particularly outdoor ambrotype production as well as material culture relating to horse-drawn mobility family presentation and dress in pre-industrial and wartime America. Ambrotypes were typically produced in controlled studio environments due to technical limitations; the presence of an outdoor composition situates this image within a less common subset of early American photography.<br /> Quarter plate ambrotype photograph showing a family seated within a horse-drawn carriage accompanied by two large horses with an adult man standing at the front holding the animals. The man wears a broad-brimmed hat consistent with mid-19th century rural or frontier attire. The group is positioned outdoors likely on unpaved ground with no visible studio backdrop emphasizing natural light exposure. The composition centers the carriage and team with human figures arranged to present both transport and family unit simultaneously. The photograph is housed in its original leather presentation case with red velvet interior lining and a decorative copper mat framing the image. The ambrotype process a glass-based photographic technique introduced in the early 1850s produces a unique non-reproducible positive image distinguishing it from later paper-based photographic formats such as cartes de visite.<br /> Ambrotypes emerged during a transitional period in photographic history bridging earlier daguerreotype practices and the rise of reproducible paper photography. By the late 1850s and into the Civil War era photographic documentation expanded alongside technological shifts yet outdoor images remained comparatively uncommon due to exposure constraints and equipment limitations. This image contributes to the visual record of civilian life during a period often dominated by military imagery offering insight into transportation clothing and social presentation outside formal studio settings. Light wear to case exterior minor rubbing at edges; interior velvet intact with moderate compression; glass plate and mat remain well-preserved with clear image visibility. Overall very good condition. unknown
