About the Item
The Book of the Horse
Samuel Sidney (1813 – 1883)
London, 1873
Cassell Petter & Galpin
Chromolithography
Man’s fascination with the horse has spanned many centuries. Admired for both strength and beauty, the horse was domesticated for both its capacity for work and pleasure. The horse has gone to war and has won awards – both under the aegis of man.
While not especially scientific, this work hopes to familiarize the reader with each breed, old and new. Set against fields for the most part, the horses stand in an alert manner presumably showing their best confirmation. In many of the examples the horses are accompanied by their riders presumably illustrating the various gaits.
Found in this work is another splendid example of chromolithography. Printing in color on stone was a remarkable technique, developed in America, for creating rich colors in a very painterly fashion. It was most successfully used with lush backgrounds and painterly subjects.

- Acanthus KelchBy Walter GropiusLocated in Florham Park, NJARCHIV FUR ORNAMENTALE KUNST. W. Gropius, L. Lohde, P. Lehfeldt. Lithographs with Later Hand-Color. Berlin, 1870. 13” x 19” Unframed. A fine German work, the illustrations are of classical and neo-classical decorative designs. The acanthus leaf, Greco-Roman busts, mythical animals and ornamental relief show the preferred style of architectural ornament over the centuries and from country to country. A trick of the lithographer was to use the occasional solid ground to give better dimension to the plate. Measuring 19” x 13”, many designs include a scale to show actual size. Only two of the 72 illustrations were printed in full color, another pair in sepia tones, and six in burnt orange and black to show typical Etruscan designs. Several have toned backgrounds. It has been the fashion to apply hand coloring to black and white engravings and lithographs for centuries. The superb condition can be attributed to the individual paper guards placed between each plate. Many of the pieces illustrated are in museums; i.e. a Greek painted portrait medallion is preserved in the Classical Museum...Category

- Balmoral - Signed Lithograph, Royal Art, Royal Homes, Balmoral Castle, BritishBy Charles (Prince of Wales)Located in Knowle Lane, CranleighBalmoral by His Majesty King Charles III (formerly known as HRH Prince Charles, The Prince of Wales) - Hand Signed Limited Edition Lithograph. Belgravia Gallery has been honoured to be associated with the artworks of HRH The Prince of Wales for over 25 years. Anna Hunter, gallery owner, wrote a handwritten letter to the Prince asking him if he would consider making signed lithographs from his beautiful watercolours which could be sold in aid of his charities. The gallery subsequently worked with the Prince for over 10 years publishing some 18 different editions and raising over £4million for the Prince’s Charitable Foundation. Lithographs were made from the Prince’s original watercolours under the guidance of Stanley Jones – a celebrated printmaker who had previously worked with Henry Moore for 30 years, and with Elizabeth Frink, David Hockney and others. Each one is hand-signed. “…One thing I have discovered in the course of my painting efforts is that Balmoral Castle...Category
