Beschreibung

A first edition copy of this comprehensive work on the horses of Arabia by Lady Wentworth, a greatly influential Arabian horse breeder The first edition of this work in the publisher's original cloth binding, with the original unclipped dust wrapper. Illustrated with a colour frontispiece and twenty-four colour plates, as well as numerous black-and-white photographs and in-text illustrations. Collated, complete. Judith Blunt-Lytton, 16th Baroness Wentworth (1873-1957), also known as Lady Wentworth, was a British peer and a profoundly influential Arabian horse breeder. Over 90 per cent of all Arabian horses in the world today carry lines to the bloodstock of the Crabbet Arabian Stud - owned by Lady Wentworth between 1917 and 1957 - in their pedigrees. This is her guide to the authentic Arabian horse, published as a companion volume to her work Thoroughbred Racing Stock, in which she imparts her encyclopedic knowledge as well as the life work of Lady Anne Blunt. This work is illustrated throughout with hitherto unpublished paintings of famous horses. In the publisher's original cloth binding, with the original unclipped dust wrapper. Externally, cloth is very smart though faded to the spine. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are bright and clean. Dust wrapper is somewhat sunned and chipped, particularly to the head and tail of the spine and to the folds of the flyleaves, but remains generally smart. Very Good Indeed.
