  Photograph Of The Finish Of The 1890 Melbourne Cup Won By Carbine
  black and white photograph by 'Akers & Co....Melbourne', with handwritten title to mount 'Hon. D.S. Wallace's Carbine Wins The Melbourne Cup. Distance 2m. Weight 10st. 5lb. Time 3m 28 1/4s. W.S. Higginbotham, Trainer. R. Ramage Rider'. 1890', framed, some chips and loss to borders of photograph, foxing and discolouration to mount 39cm x 60.5cm
• Notes:
  Carbine is considered to be one of the greatest ever Melbourne Cup winners. His win in 1890 was exceptional, setting a record time despite carrying a record weight of 10 stone 5 lb (66kg). The time is all the more remarkable considering the poor condition of the track and that jockeys during this time still adopted an upright riding stance.
