Very rare. The only recorded copy sold at auction in over thirty five years was the Schiff copy (Sotheby's New York, 11 December 1990, lot 126). Count Sandor was a Hungarian nobleman who spent a season at Melton Mowbray on a visit to Lord Alvanley. His daring horsemanship, and mishaps, were the provocation of much merriment over the Melton dinner tables at the time and long after. The prints are based on ten oil paintings which the count commissioned from Ferneley and took back to his seat at Bais, Hungary.
