Eclipse and Bucephalus with jockeys about to race at Newmarket in 1770, signed lower left 'J N Sartorius', oil on card 15 x 20.5cmFootnote: Provenance: Thomas Miller Whitehead, sold to Algernon Dunn Gardner (1853-1929) in 1894 for £40, Thence by descent J N Sartorius must have painted this record (using drawings by his father Francis, according to John Lawrence in John Scott – see below) well after this celebrated race, where Bucephalus was put forward as the only horse who had proved good enough to possibly challenge the great Eclipse (see lot 56) took place. Run over the Beacon Course at Newmarket on 17th April 1770, it was the first race of the season for both horses, who met at level weights. Bucephalus, a lighter chestnut than Eclipse and belonging to Peregrine Wentworth whose racing colour was white, had been previously unbeaten in three races, though as Eclipse had never been beaten, the betting was 6-4 on Eclipse. The two horse race was said to have broken Bucephalus’ spirit and he never seems to have raced again. Eclipse retired to stud that same year and being unbeaten in any race and then siring over 350 winners, he can fairly claim to be the most famous racehorse of the English turf. Long after his death (1789) stories were ‘spread’ that Eclipse’s sire was in fact Shakespeare and not Marske. Indeed, an engraving by John Scott, presumably taken from this painting, was issued in 1820 in his, The Sportsman’s Repository; Comprising a Series of Highly Finished Engravings, Representing the Horse and the Dog, in All Their Varieties, pub. London by Henry G. Bohn, p.37, to give credence to that notion, in which Bucephalus is transformed and named as ‘Shakespeare’ the alleged sire of Eclipse. Both stallions had covered Eclipse’s dam Spiletta near together which gave rise to the speculation which is now largely dismissed. In the present painting according to Lawrence in John Scott ibid., Eclipse is ridden by John Oakley in the red colours of his then owner, William Wildman. CONDITION:Some surface dirt. Discoloured old varnish along the edges. Signed under the mount. Inscribed to the reverse.

A. Cup – now lost – see footnote below), the loaded base underside inscribed 'Made By/P.Vaughton & Sons/Birmingham/1896/From A Cast Of The Old Cup/Which Was Lost' with ebonised plinth bearing two later silver plaques, both with maker's mark for Charles Edwards, London, 1910, the first inscribed 'Presented by/The Football Association/To/The Right Hon. Lord Kinnaird/in appreciation of long/and very valuable services rendered to the game/6th February 1911', the second inscribed 'The Right Hon.

Lord Kinnaird by The Football Association for services to the game on his 21st Anniversary as President of The Football Association, thence by family descent until sold at Christie's, lot 100, 19th May 2005 for £478,400, including Buyers Premium.Private UK Collection Exhibited: The National Football Museum, Preston and now Manchester from 2005 until June 2020The first F. A. Cup used between 1872 and 1895 was stolen from the Birmingham football outfitter William Shillcock's window on 11th September 1895 when it was on display after Aston Villa had won it that year. A £10 reward was offered for the recovery of the cup but sadly the trophy was never seen again. In 1958 an 80-year old Harry Burge came forward and said he had stolen it to make counterfeit half-crown coins and in 1975 Joseph Piecewright was implicated in the original theft but neither of these claims have been substantiated. As current holders of the trophy and therefore custodians of it Aston Villa FC were fined £25 for the loss of the trophy. In 1953, 90 years after the formation of The Football Association, Geoffrey Green wrote his seminal work 'The History of The Football Association' and page 173 notes that '......and at a Council meeting on January 22nd, 1896, it was proposed by A. Sharman that the new Cup to be purchased for competition in place of the old one lost, should be of gold, the cost not to exceed £200. The proposal was lost, and a resolution put forward by R. P. Gregson, seconded by Dr. Morley 'that a cup as nearly as possible like the old cup should be purchased' was carried. Thus another trophy, costing £25 and of twin design to the original, was set upon its high pedestal'. Fortunately, a cast of 'the old cup' existed and Vaughton & Sons of Birmingham were commissioned to produce an exact replica of it at the cost of £25. This is the cup offered here for sale. It bears the winners' names from 1872 onwards including Wanderers who won five of the first seven finals including three in a row (they were then presented with the trophy in perpetuity only to apply the true 'Corinthian' spirit of the amateur game at the time and return it to The Football Association – ironically, they never won it again!), Oxford University, Royal Engineers, Old Etonians, Clapham Rovers (who were strong in both codes of football – association football and rugby union) and Old Carthusians. In 1883 Blackburn Olympic won the 'the little tin idol' and the game of Association Football changed forever. The domination of the former pupil's public-school teams had come to an end and the North of England and Midlands teams began a new era in the game.The present cup offered for sale was contested for on 15 occasions before being retired and subsequently presented to The Right Hon. Lord Kinnaird in 1911. First time winners of this actual trophy include Manchester City, Manchester United, Everton, Newcastle and Tottenham Hotspur to name but a few.
