About the Item

A handsome vintage equestrian print depicting George Frederick (1871), one of Britain’s most celebrated thoroughbreds of the 19th century. The horse, shown in full profile against a softly rendered landscape, is identified beneath as “Pl. 18 — George Frederick.” This print is after the original painting by John Frederick Herring Sr., one of England’s foremost animal painters whose equestrian works defined the Victorian sporting genre. Herring’s paintings of Derby winners were commissioned by royal patrons and racing enthusiasts alike, often reproduced as chromolithographs by noted publishers such as Fores and Fuller. The verso features a detailed pedigree chart, tracing George Frederick’s lineage through distinguished racehorses including Marsyas (1851), Stockwell (1849), and Touchstone (1831)—a fascinating visual of 19th-century thoroughbred breeding history. Printed on fine cream stock with soft time-toning to the edges, the piece exudes an authentic, antique charm that enhances its country house and equestrian club appeal. Styling Ideas - Frame in walnut or ebonized wood with a gilt slip for a traditional English sporting look. - Display as part of a gallery wall in a study, mudroom, or tack room, paired with vintage hunt prints or botanical engravings. - Perfect for equestrian enthusiasts, horse breeders, and collectors of Victorian sporting art. - Style atop a mahogany console with leather-bound books and brass accents for an “old money” English country aesthetic. Condition Excellent vintage condition with light, even age toning and faint edge wear consistent with age. Colors remain vivid and sharp. Dimensions: 13.25" Wide 9.5" Tall

Antique George Frederick Horse Print in Patterned Gilt Frame - Ready to Hang

Antique George Frederick Horse Print in Patterned Gilt Frame - Ready to Hang

Located in Oklahoma City, OK

This elegant framed horse print depicts “George Frederick,” a finely rendered equine portrait originally issued as Plate 18 in a 19th-century sporting or stud reference series. The composition showcases a richly colored chestnut horse in classical side profile, posed with lifted foreleg in the traditional stance favored for documenting prized bloodstock and conformation. The print is executed in warm brown and russet tones with subtle shading, emphasizing musculature, coat sheen, and anatomical precision. The artist’s approach reflects the golden age of British sporting art, where horses were treated with the same reverence as aristocratic portrait subjects. The work is presented in a decorative, patterned gilt frame with a repeating textile-like motif in gold and deep brown tones, likely a later 20th-century custom framing that complements the warmth of the image beautifully. A neutral mat with white inner liner provides balance and visual depth. The backing bears a label from Pirates Alley Picture Frames, Oklahoma City, indicating professional framing. This horse print is ideal for collectors of equestrian art, English sporting décor, or traditional library and study interiors. George Frederick This print references the horse George Frederick rather than the artist’s name, which is typical of 19th-century equestrian plates...
