[CAVENDISH, WILLIAM]
[Plate from "Des welt-berühmten Hertzog Wilhelms von Newcastle Neu-eröffnete Reit-Bahn...".]

[Nürnberg] [1700 or 1764] 37 x 46 cm including margins. A couple of stains to the margins. Good margins. Near fine condition.
¶ A high quality copper engraving showing a half circle of horses on their hind legs around a rider in the centre. Above can be seen mythological gods or maybe an ordinary scene from heaven? The engraving was published in William Cavendish "Des welt-berühmten Hertzog Wilhelms von Newcastle Neu-eröffnete Reit-Bahn.." William Cavendish (1592-1676) established a famous riding school in Antwerp while living there in exile. He is famous for his revolutionary ideas on systematic and humane horse training. His work is very significant to horsemanship and dressage. The first edition was published in french in 1657. The first German edition came in 1700 containing 82 engravings. It was reprinted in 1764 with the same plates. The present plate is from either of these two german editions. An english edition appeared in 1743.
