An important work showing the progression of a race horse through successive stages of life, at one point pampered and adored, at another rejected and scorned.

Expert repairs to plate corners, light marginal finger-soiling, occasional browning, plates 2 and 4 with very minor marginal tears with two very small repairs to versos.
