Title: Antique Arabian Horse Lithograph “Aleppo” by August Jäger, 1846 Description: A dramatic and highly decorative antique lithograph depicting the Arabian stallion “Aleppo,” published in Stuttgart in 1846 as part of August Jäger’s renowned equestrian work Das orientalische Pferd (“The Oriental Horse”). Unlike many static equestrian portraits of the period, this composition captures the horse in an animated, spirited pose with raised forelegs, accompanied by a partially visible handler, creating a striking sense of movement and vitality. The lithograph was issued by the Stuttgart publisher G. Ebner, whose imprint appears in the lower right margin. The notation “I. Lfg. 5.” indicates this plate formed part of the fifth issue in the first installment of the series. Das orientalische Pferd is among the notable 19th-century European publications dedicated to the study and admiration of Arabian and Oriental horse breeds, reflecting the fascination these animals inspired among aristocratic breeders, military circles, and collectors throughout Europe. The Arabian horse has long been regarded as one of the world’s most refined and influential breeds. Carefully developed by Bedouin tribes for endurance, intelligence, loyalty, and speed, Arabian bloodlines later became foundational in the development of numerous modern horse breeds, including the Thoroughbred. Their elegant heads, arched necks, and proud carriage made them highly sought after during the 18th and 19th centuries. This particular composition is especially appealing for its dynamic energy and theatrical presentation. The richly adorned tack, elegant harness details, and lively posture of the horse give the image a more romantic and expressive quality than many conventional equestrian studies. The monochrome lithographic technique enhances the sculptural modeling of the horse while maintaining the refined academic style characteristic of high-quality German lithography from the period. Today, prints from Das orientalische Pferd are admired both as historical equestrian studies and as sophisticated decorative artworks. This example combines strong visual impact with timeless elegance, making it especially suitable for refined interiors and equestrian collections. This print displays exceptionally well in dark walnut, black lacquer, or lightly gilt frames paired with a wide ivory or oatmeal mat. Its dramatic equestrian subject makes it particularly suitable for libraries, studies, country houses, riding clubs, horse stables, or sophisticated gallery walls. This is an original antique print, not a reproduction. All items we offer are authentic period works of art over 100 years old. The piece is sold unframed; any framed images are shown for presentation and interior inspiration only and may not always be to scale.

Basilius Besler Spurge, Glasswort & Pennywort Botanical Engraving, 1613 Original antique hand-colored copper engraving from Basilius Besler’s celebrated Hortus Eystettensis, published in Eichstätt and Nuremberg in 1613.
