Description: | Thomas Bewick's drawing is based on the famous racehorse 'Match 'Em', owned by Squire Fenwick of Bywell, near Newcastle. According to the Squire, 'Match 'Em' was 'remarkable for being the quietest stallion that ever was known.' The lantern spire of St Nicholas' Church confirms that the scene is a race meeting on the Town Moor in Newcastle. This is the pen and pencil sketch for the engraving of the racehorse in his book, 'Quadrupeds' (1790), p.4. | Publisher: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Temporal: | Production date: 1790 | Source: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Creator: | Thomas Bewick | Identifier: | http://www.twmuseums.org.uk/discoveringb... | Go to resource |
