"Full Cry", by F. Tayler, from the winter exhibition, No. 7, Haymarket, 1868. Engraving of a watercolour drawing. 'Who...has not often admired the perfect seat, the consentaneous action of horse and rider, in all Mr. Tayler's drawings - the noble horsemanship and equestrian grace of all his hunting personages, male or female? But how often do you not see elsewhere representations of equitation wherein either the rider is perched on a horse like an acrobat, with no hold of the animal, or else is apparently growing, centaur-wise, out of its back?' From "Illustrated London News", 1868.
