Second edition of a work on all aspects of horses, horsemanship, the horse trade, horse carriages etc. The work contains six chapters by Karl Kegel and twelve by Seufert von Tenecker, with three early lithographed plates. It was first published in 1817 and was apparently very popular: the present edition contains a six-page list of subscribers. It was followed by several other editions.
A stain in the last folding plate and some stains to the binding. Upper hinge a little chipped, still a good copy.
Huth p. 92. Not in Mennessier de la Lance; Nissen, ZBI; Podeschi.
