On his own walls, he displays a sense of humor and appreciation of fine antiques in his amusing collection of hand-colored etchings by Henry William Bunbury featuring lively cartoonlike caricatures of horses and their frustrated riders, published in London, England in 1791 in ­Annals of Horsemanship.
