Watercolour illustration created for publication in an illustrated newspaper or magazine, probably The Penny Illustrated Paper. It depicts a series of images of 'The Boxing Horses at the Royal Aquarium'. The illustration is not dated or signed but annotation on the rear indicates that it was drawn by the artist F.V.Poole.
This item is one of several theatrical drawings from a collection of sketches commissioned from contemporary artists to be printed in illustrated magazines. The collection was donated to the museum by Sir William James Ingram in 1914.
