Original Chromolithograph

A portrait of the jockey Herbert Jones wearing the racing colours of the British monarch. Lettered beneath the image "a King's jockey" and with the publication details "VANITY FAIR" top left; "Septr. 29th. 1904" top right; "Vincent Brooks, Day & Son Lt.d Lith." lower left. Signed with Roland L'Estrange's "AO" monogram (within the image).

Originally appeared as "Men of the Day. No. 932 - HERBERT JONES" in Vanity Fair 29th September 1904.

Herbert Jones was apprenticed as a jockey at the age of ten and rode his first winner at sixteen. In 1900 he won the "Triple Crown" when he rode the Prince of Wales's (later King Edward VII) horse "Diamond Jubilee" to victory in the three Classic British horseraces of that year: 2,000 Guineas, Epsom Derby and St. Leger. He was known from then on as " "Diamond Jubilee Jones" and became the King's preferred jockey. He won numerous other Classics but, sadly, is most often recalled as being the jockey who was on-board King George V's horse "Anmer" in the fatal incident involving the suffragette protester Emily Davison at the Epsom Derby of 1913. During that year's race "Anmer" ran down Emily Davison on Tattenham Corner and she later died of her injuries (Jones himself was unsaddled and injured in the event).

Roland Styleman L'Estrange, F.S.A., J.P., D.L. (1869-1919) was, primarily, an aristocratic Norfolk landowner.  He was also a gifted amateur artist who produced a number of accomplished caricatures for Vanity Fair which were published under his pseudonym "Armadillo" or "AO".

Great Mouse
I normally use the Logitech M325c. I've gone through dozens over the years. It works very well, but they seem to wear out fast; the wheel scroll is what fails. I decided to give the Amazon Basics a try. So far, it looks, feels, and functions the same as the Ltech; it doesn't have the fun colors, but if it holds up longer than a year, it's a fair tradeoff. I will revise this review if things change in the future, but as of now, I would recommend the Amazon Basics and will replace the other Ltech's when the time comes.

Works great!
Color: Blue
The mouse gave me a little trouble when it was in the back port of my pc tower, but worked perfect when i plugged it into one at the front. The light was flickering for "low power" despite new batteries being in it, but worked great after playing with it for a few minutes. The mouse is really easy to work with and is silent, which is nice when you're in an atmosphere with other people. I found it fit well in my hand and didn't cause any discomfort. i believe it to be reasonably priced for the design.

Great little mouse for a low price
Color: Purple, Color: Purple
For about $10 this was a great little mouse! The buttons are super quiet and the shape seems comfortable. I work from home and I bought this as a last min I need it tomorrow kind of deal. I guess I should have looked into the description more as this is a tiny little mouse. I've gotten more used to it as the day goes on, but I am definitely ordering something bigger. This will make a fine little back up mouse though. PROS: Super quiet Adjustable pointer speed button Nice shape Accurate color CONS: Super tiny It goes into sleep mode a bit fast for me personally and then takes (what feels like) forever to wake back up again (probably about 30-45 seconds,
