EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning portrait print captures the essence of Henry John Rous, a distinguished British admiral and sportsman who left an indelible mark on both the Royal Navy and the world of horse racing. With his piercing gaze and impeccably styled grey hair, Rous exudes a sense of authority and sophistication that is truly timeless.
Rous dedicated over three decades of his life to serving in the Royal Navy, showcasing his unwavering commitment to duty and honor. However, it was his passion for horse racing that truly set him apart. As a steward of the Jockey Club and later appointed as a public handicapper, Rous played a pivotal role in shaping the sport into what it is today.
In this portrait, Rous's sideburns are meticulously groomed, adding to his air of refinement and elegance. The scarf draped around his neck hints at his status as a man of influence and prestige within London society.

This print serves as a poignant reminder of Rous's enduring legacy as an admiral, sportsman, and all-around remarkable individual.
