(Coaching)

An original pen-and-ink drawing of a four-in-hand coaching scene "Hill to the Downs. 'Done Up!'"

Approx. 11" x 15", np: nd [ca. 1880]. On illustration board. Some light foxing, a line of abrasion along right edge approx. 1/4" wide.

This anonymous, English drawing, captioned "The Hill to the Downs.– 'Done Up!'", shows a four-in-hand coach loaded with passengers, apparently making its way from London to the races at Epsom Downs. The coach is either stationary or moving very slowly, as a smaller carriage drawn by two horses passes it quite easily. The four horses look rather haggard and worn. A very nice, dramatic item
