Checklist of 170 works of equestrian art, which were exhibited at the Grand Palais during the Paris concours hippique (horse show) of 1904. They included oils, watercolors, sculpture, and a few drawings. Among the artists, most of whom are long lost to canonical art history, were several women--Anna Palm de Rosa, Marie-Jeanne de Parseval, Olga Paschkoff of Russia, and Vicomtesse H. de Villeneuve-Bargemont. Addresses are given for all. The subjects were portraits (horses, riders), hunting, racing, genre scenes, etc. Scarce: WorldCat locates 1 copy each of 2 earlier years (Utrecht, BN). Can be sent outside the US for less than the default shipping rate.
