Henri Delattre - FASHION IN A LANDSCAPE
Est: $8,000 - $10,000
Oil on canvas Signed, dated 1855. Provenance: Newhouse Galleries The Jockey Club Illustrated: pg. 101. Alexander Mackay-Smith, The Race Horses of America, 1832-1872, Portraits and Other Paintings by Edward Troye, 1981. Exhibited: "Sport in American Art" Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. October 10 - December 10, 1944. Fashion was the undisputed Queen of the Turf in the 1840s. Game, sturdy, and long-running, she was the celebrated winner of one of the most important races held in 19th-century America: a four-mile match against the famous Boston. The match was held May 10, 1841, at Union Course on Long Island, New York, and was attended by an estimated 70,000 race fans. Fashion set a new record of 7:321‚ÅÑ2 for the distance and in the process became the adored banner-carrier for the northern states in this most famous of the North-South sectional matches held in the years prior to the Civil War. The New York Express published an account of the race in an article titled: "GREAT MATCH RACE BETWEEN FASHION AND BOSTON-THE NORTH AGAINST THE SOUTH" The great contest between the North and South, so far as horse power or speed is concerned, was yesterday settled on the Union Race Course. The noble animals chosen to decide this grave question were Fashion and Boston. At the tap of the drum both were off like rockets. The exciting moment had at length arrived, and all that immense concourse of spectators were in breathless anxiety. The heat was closely contested for the first three miles-Boston kept about a length ahead, but Fashion passed him on the fourth and came in about her length ahead, making the heat in 7 minutes and 32-1/2 seconds. After a lapse of 30 minutes the bugle again sounded, and they were off for the second heat- Fashion took the lead the first two miles, and Boston came in ahead the third mile, but was passed again by Fashion on the fourth, winning the second heat by about 50 yards. The purse was $20,000 a side, which was put up on Monday and the preliminaries settled. Some few small bets were made on the ground but not to any extent. The weather although cloudy in the morning, boding a stormy day, turned out one of the very best for the occasion. Everything came off to the entire satisfaction of all, except perhaps the losing party, and even they submitted with Christian fortitude. Henri Delattre (French, 1801-1876)

Engraved: Currier and Ives, 1851 Mac, a brown gelding by Morgan Post Boy out of a mare by Bush Messenger, had a highly successful racing career from 1848 to 1854, beating such greats as Lady Suffolk, Jack Rossiter, Grey Eagle, and Tacony. On November 8, 1848 at Hunting Park Race Course, Philadelphia, Zachary Taylor, a chestnut gelding by Quimby Messenger, had beaten Grey Eagle in a race under saddle for a purse of $2,000. In consequence, his backers issued a challenge to the whole racing world, which culminated in the match race at the same course on July 18, 1949 for a purse of $500. Zachary Taylor, owned by William King of Philadelphia and ridden by George Young, was opposed by Mac, owned by John McArdle of Albany, New York, and ridden by Gil Crane. The excitement of the race attracted over 50,000 spectators, and Mac was the victor. Race between Mac and Zachary Taylor at Huntington Park Bred in Maine of Morgan and Messenger blood, Mac was one of the fastest and most famous trotters of his day. His fame became so great that the owner of Zachary Taylor challenged Mac's owners to a match in Philadelphia. The race took place on July 18, 1849, at Hunting Park Course and was a best three of five heats at one mile under saddle. Mac won the first three heats in 2:31, 2:30, and 2:35. Remnants of Hunting Park can still be seen today in the north Philadelphia neighborhood bearing its name. The estate originally belonged to James Logan, William Penn's secretary, and in 1815 a parcel of 45 acres was sold for a racecourse. The track had a short lifespan as betting on horses was outlawed in Philadelphia in 1854. The Henri DeLattre painting of the great trotters Mac and Zachary Taylor was reproduced in 1851 by Currier, and it is considered to be one of the best large folios done by Currier & Ives.

DeLattre, Henri - Two Horses in a Pennsylvania...
Est: $20,000 - $25,000
TWO HORSES IN A PENNSYLVANIA LANDSCAPE This painting, depicting a bay and a chestnut horse, is thought to have been painted at Hunting Park, part of the Philadelphia estate of Dr. John Dickinson Logan. Augustin-Henri DeLattre was commissioned to paint several pieces for Dr. Dickinson Logan, and, based on the fieldstone house in the background, it is highly likely that this is one of them. The Logan House still stands in the Hunting Park area today. DeLattre's subject matter consisted mainly of animal portraits and landscapes, which he regularly exhibited at the Paris Salon starting in 1824. DeLattre made a three-year tour of the United States in 1836, where he found ample work painting the favorite racehorses for some of the foremost horseman of the day, Colonel William Ransom Johnson and Colonel Wade Hampton. While he found sufficient work and gained considerable esteem, DeLattre never attained the prominence he sought and lived in the shadow of the eminent painter Edward Troye. After returning to France in 1839, DeLattre received high praise for his portrait of the great racehorse Boston (which was reproduced in the American Turf Register). After the February Revolution of 1848, DeLattre suffered political exile due to his family's political leanings, at which point he returned to the United States. In March of 1849, Alexis de Tocqueville, famed French political thinker of the Revolution, sent letters to a Mr. Edward Everett, among others, in which he praised DeLattre as a highly talented artist and honorable character and requested that they support his compatriot. DeLattre met tremendous success upon his arrival in<br/>Philadelphia - partially due to Everett's referrals and Philadelphia contacts, but largely because of his highly praised 1839 portrait of Boston. He established himself on Locust Street in Philadelphia in the spring of 1849 and his "Study of a Donkey" was shown at the Philadelphia Academy of Fine Arts that year. DeLattre finished the year with a painting of Boston (which later became part of Walter M. Jeffords' collection), the painting that salvaged his 1839 trip to the States. He also completed several works that year that would later be lithographed by Nathaniel Currier (of Currier & Ives fame). In 1849 DeLattre painted this particular work on the estate of Dr. John Dickinson Logan of Philadelphia, who afterwards became a great patron of DeLattre's, procuring his services for five additional documented commissions and possibly more. Dr. Logan was a descendant of two prominent and historically important Pennsylvania families, both of whom played critical roles in the development of the commonwealth and the formation of the country. Dr. Logan was the grandson of John Dickinson, who was coined the "Penman of the Revolution" for his "Letters from a Farmer in Pennsylvania" and was lauded by Thomas Jefferson as: "among the first of the advocates for the rights of his country when assailed by Great Britain whose name will be consecrated in history as one of the great worthies of the revolution." John Dickinson is the namesake for Dickinson College, the Dickinson School of Law at Pennsylvania State University, and the Dickinson Complex at the University of Delaware. His paternal grandfather was James Logan, who came to the colony as William Penn's secretary aboard the "Canterbury" in 1699. He was elected mayor of Philadelphia in 1722, served as the colony's chief justice from 1731 to 1739, became acting governor of Pennsylvania from 1736 to 1738, and is widely considered to be Benjamin Franklin's mentor. Dr. Logan was the consummate sportsman, a gentleman of the highest regard, and a longstanding member of the Maryland Jockey Club. Henri DeLattre recorded the greatest Thoroughbreds, trotters and pacers of a golden age of sport. His paintings show the progression and adaptation that all great artists strive for and embrace - his ability to depict his subjects true to form was one of the strongest of his era. While many before him would try to correctly capture the movement of a horse in motion, DeLattre was the first to break from the tradition of depicting horses running with all four legs splayed and attempted to capture their accurate movements.
