The Donkey – Ster Sweepstakes’ Engraving by Charles Hunt 1852
Painted by J.A.Fitzgerald, published London 1852
Years ago I bought this mid 19th Century English lithograph. It has sat around in my stores and found again recently.
The donkey race at the local county fair. I wonder if they’re chimney sweepers? One of my younger contempories stated, ‘He saw this in my shop window display recently, he continued to state the engraving was ‘Racist’?’ Sometimes I simply don’t understand our younger generation?
Anyway, I love this style of engraving. I removed the daggy frame, as I feel it looks much better with no interference.
