116 RACEHORSES IN AUSTRALIA 



The reproductions of Stainforth's pictures included in this volume will 

 serve in a great measure to prove to the public generally his calibre as a 

 painter of the horse. Those of us, however, who have had the pleasure of 

 studying his work in the originals, have every confidence in allowing posterity 

 to judge of his merits. Certain it is, that at no distant date his pictures will 

 be acclaimed and much sought after as classic examples of equine portraiture.
