EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "For Sale (engraving)" takes us back in time to the bustling horse sales of the 19th century. Created by British artist Briton Riviere, this artwork captures a pivotal moment in history when horses were not only prized possessions but also essential for transportation and labor. The image showcases a lively scene at an open-air market, where potential buyers gather around elegantly groomed horses up for sale. The meticulous engraving technique used by Riviere brings out every intricate detail of these magnificent creatures - their muscular bodies, sleek coats, and expressive eyes. Each horse seems to possess its own unique personality as they stand patiently or prance with energy, awaiting their fate. With its origins as an illustration for The Illustrated London News in December 1870, this print offers us a glimpse into the vibrant world of Victorian England. It serves as a testament to the importance placed on equestrian culture during that era. Now preserved within a private collection, this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate both the artistic skill behind it and the historical significance it represents. Whether you are an art enthusiast or simply captivated by equine beauty, "For Sale (engraving)" is sure to transport you back in time and ignite your imagination about days gone by.
