Stubbs (George)

The Anatomy of the Horse,

[second edition], 24 double-page engraved plates, few pages with some minor 'insect'? damage at corners not affecting images or plates in general, original contemporary buckram, corners bumped, extremities slightly worn, slightly faded, internal hinges expertly strengthened, upper front joint with small tear, folio, 1853.

***A pioneering work of animal anatomy. Stubbs was unable to find an engraver for the work and so had to execute the engravings himself.
