Framed Vanity Fair An American Jockey Tod Sloan Reproduction Print

A framed colour reproduction of An American Jockey, the well-known Vanity Fair caricature depicting American jockey Tod Sloan.

The image shows Sloan standing in profile in racing colours, with the printed title An American Jockey beneath the portrait. It is presented behind glass in a slim black frame with an ivory-coloured mount and is fitted with a hanging cord for wall display.

The work has been removed from its frame and examined by Roberts London. It is a later reproduction of the original Vanity Fair image and is not an original nineteenth-century chromolithograph.

Offered as an attractive piece of decorative racing and sporting wall art, the framed print has a pleasing retro appearance and would suit a study, hallway, home office, racing-themed interior or collection of equestrian pictures.
