l8 ANIMAL PAINTERS 



Diligence of 1830." Several engravings from his 

 pictures are to be found in the old sporting publica- 

 tions, and the majority of these are coaching or 

 kindred subjects. Vol. 151, 1868, of the Sporting 

 Alagazine contains a plate engraved by E. Hacker, 

 from "Over the Downs," a pair of post-horses in 

 a storm. It is a clever drawing and full of the life 

 and spirit which distinguished Henderson's work ; 

 the post-boy's horse is fairly frightened, and the 

 grey off-horse, dragging as a hand-horse will, at his 

 bridle. The N'etv Sporting Magazine for 1841, 

 vol. 20, contains an engraving by G. Paterson from 

 " A Smash in Piccadilly," an incident which fur- 

 nished Henderson with the subject of a spirited 

 picture. The horses of the Bristol mail having 

 started without driver or guard, ran into a coach 

 standing at the park side, working havoc with their 

 own vehicle and that with which they collided. 

 Bailys Magazine for May, 1S92, contains an 

 engraving by Mr. F. Babbage from Henderson's 

 " Coaching in the Olden Days." 



The artist did not confine his brush entirely to 

 the portrayal of road incidents. The Sporting 

 Review, vol. i, for 1839, contains a plate by 

 Richard Parr from his painting " The Berkeley 

 Hunt ; " and vol. 2 for the same year, a plate 

 engraved by T. A. Prior, from " The Earth 

 Stopper."
