You are bidding on a huge original antique print from an 1880s illustrated journal.

 

It depicts a beautiful woman on a runaway horse on Rotten Row in Hyde Park, London. SHe is riding sidesaddle. A police officer reaches out to save her.

Rotten Row is a broad track running for 1,384 meters (4,541 ft.) along the south side of Hyde Park in London. It leads from Hyde Park Corner to the Serpentine Road. During the 18th and 19th centuries, Rotten Row was a fashionable place for upper-class Londoners to be seen.

It is very large (double folio size), measuring approximately 22 x 16 inches (56 x 40.5 cm). The picture fills most of the page, with a caption below. There is unrelated text/photos on the back of this print.

The print has a fold in the middle, where it was folded into the magazine long ago. Note that the fold line is clean and undamaged, because it was "tipped" into the binding. This was a luxury binding technique of that era, because the double page prints were free of binding holes down the center.

The page is in excellent condition for its age. See scan for an accurate view of the condition.

This print will come with a Certificate of Authenticity.
