Estimate value
£ 18 000 – 25 000
VERNET, Carle (1758-1836) and Horace VERNET (1789-1863).

Recueil de chevaux de tous genres... Paris, Rue St. Lazare, Chaussée d’Antin No. 42, [1794-1807].

A fine copy of this remarkable series of lithographs of horses, beautifully hand-coloured: ‘infiniment rare, surtout en couleurs’ (Thiébaud). A group of these plates show sportsmen hunting with guns on horseback. Horace Vernet, son of Carle Vernet, was responsible for the majority of them; Carle was particularly renowned for his images of horses. Thiebaud states that it is almost impossible today to find a complete series in colour, print dealers and amateurs having broken up the majority of copies. Bobins III, 1202; Mellon Books on the Horse 99; Schwerdt Vol. II, p.281; Thiébaud 928-929.



Oblong folio (343 x 508mm). Engraved title in English and French with hand-coloured vignette of galloping horse, and 48 lithographic plates, finely coloured by a contemporary hand, with borders engraved in English and French (the first 4 series, of a total of 5, each series comprising 12 plates, title lightly spotted and some light marginal spotting to plates). Fine late 19th-century dark green crushed morocco by Riviere and Sons, covers bordered with triple gilt rule, spine with gilt ruled raised bands, richly gilt in compartments, edges with double gilt rule, turn-ins richly gilt, all edges gilt.
