series: Sport in Art and Books. The Paul Mellon Collection. Books Latin, Italian, & French 1400-1838; English & American 1450-1941. "This book is primarily a technical bibliography. It is in effect a history of English books on a luxury subject: the horse as an animal of noble recreation and delight. The focus is on the Thoroughbred horse... On another level this catalogue is simply a record of the household library of a man who for many years has been riding and hunting, breeding horses and racing them. It is not a hoard of rarities."
