JOHN N. SARTORIUS 1 35 



wards near Woodford, in Essex. The picture of 

 Phenomena was also engraved on large scale by 

 Whessel for separate publication. 



In Vol. 66, for June, 1825, an engraving by 

 J. Webb, from a portrait of Eclipse, with Jack 

 Oakley up, galloping on the Beacon Course, 

 Newmarket. Oakley was well known as a jockey, 

 both in England and France, at this period. The 

 inscription on this engraving states that the plate 

 is " from a painting of Sartorius the Elder," and 

 the name engraved thereon is "J. N. Sartorius:" 

 but as Eclipse was running on the turf, and in his 

 zenith about 1770, it must be concluded that the 

 painting by John N. Sartorius was done from a 

 sketch taken from life by his father Francis. 



Among the many horse-portraits painted by John 

 N. Sartorius, mention may be made of Sir Thomas, 

 engraved by J. W. Edye, the plate measuring i6| 

 by 12 inches ; Champion, the plate from which 

 measures 1^^ by gj inches ; the copy of the former 

 engraving before the writer bears no publisher's 

 inscription, and from the latter, names of both 

 engraver and publisher are wanting. Rockingham, 

 engraved by J. W. Edye, size of plate 16J by 12 

 inches, and published on 25th April, 1789, by J.

 London. Cormorant was engraved and published
