The Celebrated Horses of America was a lavish collection of chromolithographed portraits of 24 running and trotting horses, "from paintings by the best artists." Original prints from it are very scarce. Messenger Duroc 106, a son of Hambletonian, headed Stony Ford Stud for over 20 years. If he was as ugly as John Hervey once described him, this is a flattering portrait. Shipping/handling will be extra; please keep this in mind when ordering.
