This whimsical character made his appearance in Palmer Cox's first Brownie book titled The Brownies, Their Book, first published in 1887. Cox wrote about his Brownies:

Brownies, like fairies and goblins,
are imaginary sprites who are supposed to delight
in harmless pranks and helpful deeds.
They work and sport while weary households sleep,
and never allow themselves to be seen
by mortal eyes.

Palmer Cox immortalized the Brownies in over 15 books with his delightful illustrations, poems and stories. For over 100 years, Cox's imaginative sprites have captured the hearts of children and adults everywhere.

Based on the original Palmer Cox illustrations, the Brownie Jockey is made of the finest all-wool felt and jointed at his neck and shoulders. He has a molded felt character face, hand-painted features, mohair wig and incredibly tiny sculptural hands. Measuring 8.5 inches tall (without his cap), the Jockey has heavy wire inside his legs to enable him to be self-standing. The Brownie Jockey is ready for the race, outfitted in his authentic jockey uniform. He wears a brimmed cap, tailored silk shirt and jodhpur breeches made of all-wool felt. His tall hand-cobbled boots are made of the finest top-grain calfskin. In one hand, he holds his riding crop. No detail has been spared in bringing this delightful Palmer Cox character vividly to life!
