Painting Description
Tattersalls Horse Repository is an aquatint engraving featured in "Ackermann's Microcosm of London," an early 19th-century publication that offers a detailed and picturesque portrayal of London life. The work is a collaboration between the caricaturist Thomas Rowlandson, who provided the original sketches, and the architect Augustus Charles Pugin, who supplied the architectural expertise and details. The engraving depicts the bustling scene at Tattersall's, a prominent horse auction house and gambling venue of the time, located near Hyde Park Corner.
Established by Richard Tattersall in 1766, Tattersall's quickly became the leading auctioneer of horses in England, catering to the aristocracy and gentry, and playing a significant role in the social and economic fabric of London. The repository was not only a place for buying and selling horses but also a social hub where the elite could gather, discuss, and bet on horse racing and other sporting events.
"Ackermann's Microcosm of London," published between 1808 and 1810, is a three-volume work that consists of 104 illustrations of London's various establishments, events, and social scenes. The publication is highly regarded for its artistic and historical value, providing a vivid snapshot of London at the turn of the 19th century. The Tattersalls Horse Repository engraving is one of the many plates that illustrate the vibrancy and diversity of London's urban life, capturing the energy and atmosphere of the horse market with Rowlandson's characteristic satirical flair and Pugin's attention to architectural accuracy.
The engraving is notable for its fine detail and lively representation of figures, horses, and the architectural setting. It serves as an important historical document, offering insights into the equestrian culture and the social dynamics of the period. As part of "Ackermann's Microcosm of London," the Tattersalls Horse Repository engraving is a significant contribution to the visual culture of the Regency era and remains a valuable resource for historians and art enthusiasts alike.
