A sumptuous volume dedicated to Woodward's celebrated collection of horse paintings, finely printed in a limited edition of 300 copies for private circulation. With an introduction by Woodward and notes by Walter Vosburgh, official handicapper for The Jockey Club. William Woodward (1876-1953), a wealthy New York banker, had a controlling interest in the historic Belair Estate and stud farm (Maryland), which under his direction grew into one of the most successful breeding and thoroughbred horse racing stables of the United States. Woodward owned paintings by George Stubbs and John Nott Sartorius, but his collection was predominated by John Frederick Herring, arguably the greatest 19th-century painter of horses. The collection included a painting of the famous Godolphin Arabian by Stubbs and was considered one of the finest of its kind. The present copy is inscribed by Woodward on the first blank to the New York investment banker Ernest Inselin: "To / my good friend / Ernest Iselin / silent, constant, faithful / adherent of the / Belair Stud / with affectionate regards / William Woodward".

Jacques de Solleysel, Sieur du Clapier (1617-80), was a "célèbre écuyer et hippiàtre français, [...] fils dun officier des Gendarmes Ecoissais [...] Solleysel était un homme instruit, dun esprit distingué et dun commerce agréable. Il avait de nombreux amis et sa compagnie était recherchée par ses contemporains. Il était bon musicien et avait un certain talent de peinture et de dessein. Cest lui, dailleurs, qui a dessiné et signé le joli frontispice de son Parfait Maréchal Il est probablement aussi lauteur des pl. et fig. qui ornent cet ouvrage" (Mennessier de la L. II, 524).
