Seymour." And in an article in the publication of 

 1845 describing the plates and giving particulars of 

 the achievements of the four horses this passage 

 occurs : " The name of Sartorius as a horse 

 painter of distinguished merit has been long 

 known in this country, and the son has diligently 

 and ably followed his father's steps. The por- 

 traits are both copies : that of Eclipse by the 

 younger (John N. Sartorius), from a painting by 

 his father (Francis Sartorius), for the truth, both in 

 form and character, of which we can vouch ; that of 

 Shakespear by the same, from the original, we 

 believe, by James Seymour." 



In a work (imperial 8vo), entitled " The Chase, 

 to which is added Field Sports by William 

 Somerville, Esq.," by Edward Topham, Esq., pub- 

 lished in 18 1 7, by Sherwood, Neely and Jones, 

 Paternoster Row, there are six e.xquisitely executed 

 engravings by John Scott, from paintings by John 

 N. Sartorius, viz.: "Unkenneling," "The View," 

 "Stag at Bay," " Otter Hunting," " Hare," " Otter 

 in a Tree." 



Many of his works were engraved for separate 

 publication, viz., " Amatch " between Sir Harry 

 Tempest Vane's Hambletonian and Mr. Joseph 

 Cookson's Diamond. This race was run in 1799 

 over the Beacon Course at Newmarket, 4 miles 

 2 furlongs, the stake being 3,000 gs. a side.
