All auctions / Books, Maps & Manuscripts / Antoine Cartier
Fascinating illustrated edition of 11 plates from one of the foundational works of Viscount Antoine Cartier d’Aure, renowned French horseman, and it constitutes both a reasoned history of the art of horsemanship and a practical treatise intended to train the rider and perfect the horse - D’Aure begins by placing the riding of his era within a long historical evolution, examining the major transformations that have occurred since the 16th century and showing how dressage methods, the rider’s position, the use of aids, bits, saddles, and the various conceptions of the education of the horse have gradually changed - This historical perspective allows him to compare the teachings of the old masters with modern practices and to defend a conception of horsemanship based on experience, the observation of the horse and the pursuit of a true harmony between mount and rider - Antoine Cartier, Viscount d'Aure - Treatise on Horsemanship preceded by an overview of the diverse modifications and changes brought to horsemanship from the 16th century to our days, followed by an Appendix on the young horse - 1844 - A. Leneveu - LXII, (2), 135 pages - Good condition of the binding, work in its original green half-leather with marbled boards, wear from use, some minor defects on the cover, headcaps and corners somewhat worn, speckled edges, smooth spine adorned with gold fillets, title and author’s name gilded - Good interior condition, damp-staining in the lower margin of the entire work, heavy foxing, ownership stamp on the title page, work enriched with 11 plates as pull-out illustrations, autographed inscription from the author crossed out, marbled endpapers in good condition, a pleasing copy - Delivery service available within a few days –
