This print titled "Wonderful England: Horses purchased in bunches abroad" takes us back to a bygone era, immersing us in the rich history and charm of England. The colour lithograph, created by Mary Francis Ames, showcases a scene filled with horses that were acquired from foreign lands. The image transports us to a time when horses played an integral role in daily life - whether it be for transportation or work on the fields. The artist's attention to detail is evident as each horse is depicted with its own unique characteristics and expressions. This artwork was originally featured in the book "Wonderful England! or, The Happy Land!" written by Mrs Ernest Ames. It serves as both historical documentation and a source of entertainment for children during that period. With its humorous undertones and comic elements, this illustration captures the imagination of young readers while subtly conveying nationalistic sentiments. Beyond its literary significance, this print also reflects imperialistic tendencies prevalent at the time. By showcasing horses purchased abroad as remounts for English riders, it highlights Britain's influence on global trade and acquisition. Overall, this delightful artwork offers a glimpse into an enchanting chapter of English history - one where horses symbolize strength, adventure, and national pride.
