Description: | This racehorse, the first animal to appear in the book 'Quadrupeds' (1790, p.4), is very different to the docile creature in the preliminary pencil sketch for this engraving. Here the horse is bad-tempered looking, its ears are laid back and its rear hoof poised to kick. It was typical of Bewick to show animals in their natural environment. Behind the animal the race is in full swing on Newcastle's Town Moor. | Publisher: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Temporal: | Production date: unknown | Source: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Creator: | Thomas Bewick | Identifier: | http://www.twmuseums.org.uk/discoveringb... | Go to resource |
