Paris, Rue St. Lazare, Chaussée d'Antin No. 42, [1794-1807].
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.
Oblong folio (34.3 x 50.8 cm); engraved title in English and French with hand-coloured vignette of galloping horse, and 48 lithographic plates, with fine contemporary hand-colour, 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, inner dentelles richly gilt, all edges gilt, extremities slightly rubbed.
