VERNET, Carle (1758-1836) and Horace (1789-1863). Recueil de chevaux de tous genres, dessinés par Carle et Horace Vernet, et gravés par Levachez. Paris, rue St Lazare, Chaussée d'Antin, n. d. [c.1811].
Oblong 2º (337 x 494mm). Engraved title with hand-coloured vignette, 36 hand-coloured mezzotint and softground engravings (see below). (Some occasional pale marginal spotting, heavier on ten plates.) Contemporary half morocco over pink mottled paper boards, morocco lettering-piece on front cover (leather renewed, boards restored); quarter morocco folding case. Provenance: Oliver Belmont (1858-1908), American socialite and U.S. Representative from New York (bookplate) -- Alfred Barmore Maclay (bookplate; purchased at his sale 11 April 1945).
A BEAUTIFUL SERIES OF MIXED-METHOD PRINTS ON EQUESTRIAN SUBJECTS. It is believed this work was published in 1811, and copies vary in plate count. Some comprise 36 (as here), others 48, 55 or 60 plates. It would appear to be a bespoke collection, then, without a consistent number of plates. Mellon/Podeschi 99; Thiébaud 928-929;
