What Our Customers Say...
Description
First Edition, Illustrated, Original Binding, Publishers' Original Binding
The scarce first UK edition, and first English translation. First published in French in 1890 under the title 'Principes de Dressage et D'Equitation'.
Translated from the original French by M. H. Hayes.
Illustrated with a monochrome frontispiece and seventy monochrome illustrations, including vignettes, diagrams and twenty one monochrome plates. Collated complete.
This equestrian work was written by James Fillis, a French horseman and riding master. This work provides a guide to horse riding, covering how to saddle and mount a horse, and a range of actions such as the demi-volte, canter and clearing a fence, and much more.
Condition
In the publisher's original cloth. Externally very smart with a slight lean, bumping and slight rubbing to the extremities, and minor marks to the boards. Spotting and offsetting to the endpapers. Internally, generally firmly bound with strain in places. Pages generally bright with the odds spot throughout, heavier to the front and rear.
