Vintage Framed English Coaching Print “The Right Sort,” Gentlemen Driving a Coach and FourParis Framer’s Label, 64 cm

In Victorian England, driving a coach became a fashionable sport. Wealthy gentlemen bought their own four-horse coaches and drove them through London’s parks and out along the country roads, handling all four horses from the box seat. This sport was called coaching, and a skilled driver was known as a “whip.” Sporting artists recorded these elegant outings, and their pictures became popular prints.

This framed print is captioned “The Right Sort.” It shows a smart coach and four bowling along a park road, with a team of chestnut, bay and black horses at a brisk trot. The coach is painted yellow and black, and its roof is crowded with gentlemen in top hats and frock coats, enjoying the drive. Riders follow on horseback, and a tall street lamp and a statue in the background suggest a city park. The print is set within a pale blue mat with fine ruled lines, inside a warm wood frame. On the back is the label of A. Pautrat, a Paris framer and gilder of paintings and engravings, at 37 rue de Constantinople.

The print is in good condition for its age, with a gentle patina. It is a fine piece for a study, a library, a hallway or any room with a classic or equestrian character.

In short, this is a vintage framed English coaching print titled “The Right Sort,” showing gentlemen driving a coach and four. It has a pale blue mat, a wood frame and a Paris framer’s label on the back, measures 64 × 52.5 cm, and is exactly as pictured.
