Engraved, when in Gambart's possession, by Thomas Landseer, for whose use the artist painted a reduced copy (H. 3 ft. 11 in. × 8 ft. 2-1/2 in.), with some changes in details. This copy passed to Jacob Bell, who bequeathed it in 1859 to the National Gallery, London. Mlle. Bonheur, preferring to be represented by a better work, painted a third Horse Fair, which she offered to the National Gallery in place of the hastily executed sketch bequeathed by Mr. Bell, but the trustees deciding that they had no power to make the exchange, she contented herself with retouching the Bell picture. The third picture was sold lately in London. A fourth replica in small (water-colour), with changes, is owned by C. F. H. Bolckow, Middleborough, England.—Harper's Weekly (1857), 645; London Times, April 27, 1865, 12.
