"An Academy for Grown Horsemen: A Bit of Blood" is a satirical illustration by the English artist Henry William Bunbury, created in the late 18th century. Bunbury, known for his humorous and caricatural works, often depicted scenes of social and sporting life in Georgian England. This particular illustration is part of a series that parodies the equestrian manuals of the time, offering a whimsical take on the art of horsemanship.

The series, "An Academy for Grown Horsemen," was first published in 1787 and consists of a collection of plates accompanied by mock-instructional text. "A Bit of Blood" stands out within this series as a commentary on the obsession with thoroughbred horses among the English gentry. In the illustration, Bunbury humorously portrays the characters involved in the horse trade and the vanity associated with owning a "bit of blood," a term used to describe a horse of good breeding.

Bunbury's work is characterized by its fine etching and attention to detail, capturing the fashion and follies of his era with a light-hearted and satirical touch. His illustrations not only provide entertainment but also serve as valuable historical documents, reflecting the social attitudes and cultural practices of the late 18th century. "An Academy for Grown Horsemen: A Bit of Blood" remains a significant example of Bunbury's artistic legacy and a testament to the enduring appeal of visual satire.
