Book Description Softcover. Condition: New. First Edition Thus. Pages are clean and tight; this is a NEW book. Pages not numbered. Illustrated with 100+ b/w drawings and diagrams. This is a reproduction of a section of the famous dictionary, the first, printed in Paris, by Denis Diderot and Jean D'Alembert. Although written during the 'Age of Reason' the authorities were NOT interested in seeing this massive, innovative, and exhaustive work published, which took over 25 years to finally see publication and distribution. Catherine the Great, Empress of Russia, was so impressed that she invited Diderot to visit her, which he did. This section covers most of aspects of horses and their care. In 18th century France, as in most parts of the western world, horses were the main source of transportation and power, so their care and equipment was of the utmost importance. This book covers horseback riding [haute ecole], saddlery, construction of riding schools/buildings/menage, and stables, farriery [horse shoeing], harness and carriages, tools for making equipment, and bits and stirrups [really kind of scarey seeing the bits they would use, poor horses]. The text is all in French. Fascinating glimpse back to the France, and her use of horses, pre-Revolution. While many things have changed, much has stayed the same; horses are still horses. Oversized. ; L'Encyclopedia Diderot & D'Alembert Series; B&W Illustrations; 9 x 12 1/2; 112 pages. Seller Inventory # 9695
