Beschreibung

38 pp. #99 of 100 copies. 14 full-page illustrations with two by Gordon Ross, including hand-colored and SIGNED frontispiece by GR. A facsimile of the 1787 edition, the sub-title continues "For Walking, Trotting, Cantering, Galloping, Stumbling, and Tumbling." The Introduction by Harvard Law (Club) man Owen Culbertson succinctly sums up the enduring appeal of this title: "[T]he most riotously humorous rare book about horses, riders, and equitation that has come down to us." A winner by any length! Brown leather boards with gilt framing in poor shape, with outer spine dry and nearly split from text block, TEG; boards scraped and chipped with shelf wear. However, endpapers still marvelously marbled in gold/green/yellow. Gutter of first page showing as is stamped owner's mark. Interior pages are somewhat browned along edges with age and a few smudges but still have miles to go. Shipped in cellophane sleeve. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 000863
