AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Set of 3 books:
1. The Arabian Thoroughbred: History, Mystery
A beautiful illustrated book devoted to the Arabian horse, its history and the fascination it has exerted for centuries. Peter Upton traces its origins, its characteristics and its role in different cultures, as well as its arrival and influence in Europe. The numerous color illustrations accompany the texts and highlight the elegance, presence and emblematic place of this breed. A work that is both historical and visual, intended for horse enthusiasts and lovers of equestrian art.
Format: Paperback, 256 pages
2. The Horses of the Sahara
This illustrated edition collects texts by E. Daumas and the Emir Abd el-Kader on the horses and equestrian traditions of the Sahara. The writings evoke the link between the horse, the desert peoples and their way of life. Marine Oussedik's illustrations — notably those visible on the cover and in the photographed pages — give the work an artistic dimension, with horses represented in an oriental universe. Its large-format hardcover also makes it an art book to browse and display.
Format: Hardcover, 275 pages
3. The Inked Horses: Illustrated Proverbs of the Orient
Published by the Living Museum of the Chantilly Horse and illustrated by Marine Oussedik, this book pairs Oriental proverbs with images of horses. The drawings, made in a light and expressive style, depict horses alone or mounted, sometimes adorned with ornaments. The layout leaves significant space for each illustration, while the proverbs invite readers to discover different ways of speaking about the horse, wisdom and life. A poetic and artistic work, particularly suited to lovers of fine books.
Format: Hardcover, 164 pages
