Monique D. Dossenbach & Jean D. Dossenbach - Le Cheval-Roi - 1983

Le Cheval-Roi, by Monique and Jean D. Dossenbach, published by Bibliothèque des Arts, Paris, in 1983. Important and impressive work devoted to the horse and the equestrian world, in a large richly illustrated edition. The work presents a very large number of color and black-and-white photographs, some on double-page spreads, as well as various documentary plates. It addresses the horse from many angles: history, breeds, traditions, breeding, riding, equestrian sports, the relationship between man and the horse, and artistic representations. Large format about 35 cm, brown binding with a gilded medallion depicting a horse’s head. Condition: an old volume showing signs of use. The outer binding shows rubbing, marks, stains and wear, clearly visible in the photographs. The interior is generally well preserved and retains a very rich iconography. A particularly decorative and interesting copy for a book collector of equestrian books, an amateur of riding or of fine works devoted to the horse. The numerous photographs are an integral part of the description and allow precise appreciation of the condition of the copy.
