RARE VIRGINIA THOROUGHBRED RACEHORSE ENGRAVING, titled, "SHARK / Bred by Charles Henry Hall, Esqr. of Harlaem (sic), N.Y., now the property of Col. Wm. R. Johnson of Virginia.", depicting the horse standing in front of a fence with his jockey holding his reins. Framed and matted under glass in a modern frame. Mid 19th century. 12" x 15 5/8" sight, 20 3/4" x 23 3/4" OA.
Catalogue Note: We could locate no other examples of this print. William Ransom Johnson (1782-1849) was born in Warren County, North Carolina. He moved to Chesterfield County, Virginia around 1816 and began raising racehorses at his plantation, Oakland. He also operated the largest and most prestigious racing stable in the country up until his death. Johnson was most noted as the breeder of American foundation sires and racing legends Sir Archy and Boston, of whom Shark was a close relative. Johnson served in the North Carolina's General Assembly from 1807 to 1814. After moving to Virginia, he was a member of the Virginia House of Delegates from 1818 to 1822 and served in both the Virginia Senate and House from 1823 to 1837. Col. Johnson and his two famous horses are members of the National Racing Museum's Hall of Fame at Saratoga Springs, New York.
