Three original watercolours of equestrian interest: one of a steeplechase with jockey and horse tumbling over brick fence, one of fox hunting, and one of a grey horse in its stable. These were discovered by us recently in a commonplace album dated 1831, and having been hidden from sunlight for 180 years or so the colours remain remarkably bright.
