Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is an impressive 19th century stud book providing an alphabetical listing of horses bred throughout the United Kingdom, Ireland, and some abroad, by influential sires. Thoroughbreds comprise the majority of horses in the book, supplemented by a generous number of trotters. The arrangement of the pedigrees is highly detailed and systematic for its time, and provides a valuable resource for breeders, stud farmers, and horse enthusiasts. The book's most interesting entries are the horses with colorful names such as 'Bread Sandwich' and 'Touch and Go', attesting to the creativity and flair of their owners. The book provides insights into the Victorian horse racing world, and the vital role that horses played in society during this era. It's a rich resource for historians of pedigree, equestrianism, and Victorian culture.
