Very Good:
A Note on condition:
Minor imperfections are to be expected from antique prints due to
their age. Often these do not affect the appearance of the print. Any
blemishes that are noteworthy are fully described and shown in the
scans.
Saving the picture in a suitable web format tends to degrade the
quality of the image (the mounts in particular tend to appear blotchy
and colours will vary slightly depending on your monitor) - the
originals are of a much higher quality.
Mount Size:
This print is Single mounted on Green with Cream inlay and gold border
line to fit a standard 6 X 8 inch frame
All mounts are hand cut to fit individual print measurements.
[IMAGE]
Shelf clearance - lots of older stock (and some new) at much reduced
prices (often much less than the price of the mount itself) - perhaps
you'll find a bargain! I have lots more so please see my other
auctions

<!-NAME TITLE -->“ ISINGLASS WINNING THE DERBY †Fine Antique
Natural History Print/Engraving circa 1897
COPY OF PROVENCE WILL BE PROVIDED IN REFERENCE TO DATE OF PUBLICATION
COMMENTARY on ISINGLASS: Bay colt, 1890. By Isonomy - Dead Lock by
Wenlock. Family 3 - m.
Darley Arabian Sire line: Birdcatcher Branch.
Isinglass was a Triple Crown champion in the 1890s, a decade which saw
some of the greatest horses of the Victorian era -- Common, Galtee
More, and Flying Fox, all winners of the Triple Crown, as well as Orme,
La Fleche, St. Frusquin, and Persimmon.
Isinglass was sired by Isonomy, the mighty Cup performer of the 1870s.
Isonomy was a small, compact son of the good middle distance performer
and sire, Sterling, and the Stockwell mare Isola Bella, whose dam had
captured the Manchester Cup. Sterling sired four classic champions,
but Isonomy was his best performer, winning the Goodwood Cup, Ascot
Gold Cup, and Doncaster Cup in the same season, a feat that would not
accomplished again for seventy years. Isonomy proved himself to be a
fine sire, but was always in the shadow of more glamorous stallions,
Hermit and St. Simon, who dominated the British sire list during the
last two decades of the nineteenth century. Still, Isonomy sired three
classic winners, and two of them--Isinglass and Common--captured the
Triple Crown, at the time an unprecedented feat.
Isinglass was foaled in 1890, and it could be argued that his pedigree
was less regal than that of Isonomy's two other classic winners:
Seabreeze, who was out of the fine producing Hermit mare St.
Marguerite and Common, who was out of the Scottish Chief mare Thistle,
later the dam of major winners Goldfinch and Throstle. Isinglass was
out of Dead Lock, by Wenlock. The sire line of Dead Lock consisted of
an unbroken chain of St. Leger winners--Wenlock, Lord Clifden,
Newminster, and Touchstone. However, Wenlock had not been a great
success at stud, his principal claim to fame was as broodmare sire of
the 1890 Derby winner Sainfoin.
Prior to Isinglass, Dead Lock had produced seven foals, including
another Isonomy colt named Islington, and a Trappist colt named
Gervas. Both were stakes winners, but not of the highest class. Her
female family had been quiet for several generations. One had to go
back to the seventh dam of Dead Lock, a mare named Fractious, who had
produced 1804 Derby winner Hannibal and his full sister Amazon, Dead
Lock¹s sixth dam. There were two different tales concerning the
unraced Dead Lock, who had been culled as a yearling by her breeder,
Lord Alington as a yearling; one claimed she had been used as a
driving mare or cart horse, and another as a hack. She died in 1893.
Isinglass was bred by Harry (later Colonel) McCalmont. During his
racing career, Isinglass proved himself to be the best of an
extraordinary crop of high-bred colts, for also foaled that year were
Ravensbury and Raeburn. Ravensbury, like Isinglass, was a son of
Isonomy. His dam was a full sister to dual classic winning filly
Shotover. Raeburn, a son of St. Simon, was bred by the Duke of
Portland, and was the third good runner from the Duke's excellent mare
Mowerina, dam previously of the classic winners Donovan and Semolina.
Isinglass was big, strongly made colt with weak-looking forelegs. His
personality exhibited an extreme streak of laziness, for Isinglass
would not overly exert himself in either his works or his races.
Despite this character flaw, Isinglass was a gentle horse. The racing
career of Isinglass was managed by Captain James Machell for
McCalmont, and he was trained at Newmarket by James Jewitt, who had
also trained his sire Isonomy.
Isinglass on the Turf
Isinglass was out three times at age two and won all three: a maiden
plate, the New Stakes at Ascot, and the Middle Park Plate at
Newmarket. In the New Stakes, Isinglass met Ravensbury for the first
time and beat him into third place. In the Middle Park Plate, both
colts carried 129 pounds and Isinglass prevailed by a length and a
half. Raeburn was also in this race, but ran unplaced.
Isinglass was a horse which disliked firm going, and as the classics
approached, the ground was unusually hard. Trainer Jewitt was of a
mind to withdraw Isinglass from the first of the classic races, the
Two Thousand Guineas, and await the Derby, but he was overruled by
Captain Machell, who ordered the horse trained over tanbark.
In the Guineas, jockey Tommy Loates, small even for a jockey, had all
he could do to drive the indolent Isinglass to a three-quarter length
win over Ravensbury. Raeburn finished four lengths further back in
third place.
A fortnight later, Isinglass took the Newmarket Stakes from Phocion,
with Ravensbury third. This 1-1/4 mile contest set Isinglass up
perfectly for the 1-1/2 mile Derby Stakes at Epsom, the last Wednesday
in May. The race mirrored the Two Thousand Guineas, as Isinglass won
by a length and a half over Ravensbury, with Raeburn a further two
lengths back in third place.
Isinglass was rested until the fall meeting at Doncaster and the St.
Leger. The summer off did not dull the form of either Isinglass or
Ravensbury, and once again they finished one-two, Isinglass the victor
by half a length. Isinglass thus added his name to an illustrious list
of Triple Crown champions, which to that time included West
Australian, Gladiateur, Lord Lyon, Ormonde, and Common. Poor
Ravensbury proved he would have been a great horse were it not his ill
fortune to have been foaled in the same year as Isinglass.
The aura of invincibility which surrounded Isinglass was diminished
somewhat in his next start, the Lancashire Plate. In this race,
Isinglass suffered the only defeat of his career. Against a stellar
field which included the previous year¹s multiple classic-winning
filly La Fleche, Isinglass finished second. The race was run at a flat
mile, which was not the favorite distance of the Triple Crown
champion, he was asked to concede ten pounds to Raeburn, and make all
the running. The combination of circumstances proved too much, and
Isinglass went under to Raeburn by a length, with La Fleche just half
a length behind Isinglass in third place. Thus Raeburn, who was a
notch below Isinglass and Ravensbury in form, nevertheless
accomplished something no other horse had done, nor would not do
again--defeat Isinglass.
As a four-year-old, Isinglass raced only three times, his targets the
prestigious trio of 1-1/4 mile races made up of the Princess of Wales'
Stakes, the Eclipse Stakes, and the Jockey Club Stakes. As had been
the case the previous season, the weather was dry, leaving the ground
very hard. In addition, Isinglass had developed an annoying tendency
to eat his bedding, as well as his own droppings, which upset his
digestion. When he was ready to make his four-year-old debut, it came
in early July. For the Princess of Wales' Stakes, Isinglass was asked
to shoulder a staggering 143 pounds against that season¹s Two
Thousand Guineas and Derby winner Ladas, the St. Simon colt St.
Florian, and old foes Ravensbury and Raeburn. Isinglass narrowly
avoided a second straight defeat, winning by a head from Bullingdon.
Ladas was third, Ravensbury and Raeburn unplaced.
On softer ground at Sandown Park for the Eclipse Stakes, Isinglass was
back to his masterful self. Ladened with 142 pounds, Isinglass again
took the measure of Ladas, who finished second by a length, with
Ravensbury three lengths farther back in third, Raeburn unplaced.
The final start of the season for Isinglass came at Newmarket in the
Jockey Club Stakes. Isinglass was once again weighted at 142 pounds,
and once again prevailed, this time by two lengths over the high class
French colt Gouvernail. Raeburn ran unplaced, as did that season¹s
St. Leger winner, Throstle.
Isinglass had only one start as a five-year-old, and that was for the
Ascot Gold Cup. It was the easiest victory of his career. He won by
three lengths from the good handicap performer Reminder.
Isinglass retired with eleven victories from twelve lifetime starts
and £58,655 in prize money, at the time the most purse money ever
won. He had proven his superiority over and over again. Isinglass met
the luckless Ravensbury eight times, and defeated that rival on each
occasion. Isinglass met Raeburn seven times, and won six of those
meetings. The lovely Hampton colt Ladas opposed Isinglass twice and
was vanquished both times. Isinglass met the brilliant mare La Fleche
once and finished ahead of her.
