Catalogue of Maynesboro Stud, signed by the owner, William Robinson Brown, one of the great contributors to the Arabian breeders of North America, presenting purebred saddle horses by strains and families. The illustrations show some of the stud's most valuable stallions, such as Rodan and Astraled, next to Abu Zeyd and Khaled, along with the mares Najine, Ghazala, Guemura and Bibliotheque.
In the early part of the 20th century, William Robinson Brown was America's most prominent breeder of Arabian horses and the leading importer of this breed in the 1920s, importing 33 horses from France, Egypt, and England. Today, 16 percent of all the Arabian horses in the Unites States are descended from the Maynesboro Stud Barn.
