Bred by Mr G. Walker in 1831, Levity was born out of Helga and her sire was Château Margaux. Levity ran for Mr Balchin in 1833 and 1834, winning once as a two-year-old at Lewes. Given the date, it is likely the picture portrays her 1843 filly Queen Elizabeth by the champion stallion Camel. However, it could also be her 1842 filly by the same horse which Mr Cockerell, who had by then acquired her, named, rather appropriately, Hump.
