The British Stable (Studies in British Art)
Editorial Reviews
John Martin Robertson, The Spectator
"...thoroughly researched, well-written... [and] beautifully illustrated... fittingly celebrates a neglected aspect of the English Architectural achievement."
Book Description
Until the early years of the twentieth century, horses played an essential role in the agriculture, transport, industry, warfare, and sport of Britain. Their stables were practical shelters, but they were also more than that—in many cases a handsomely appointed stable served as much for the elegant display of horses as for their shelter. This beautiful book, illustrated with over one hundred specially commissioned photographs, focuses attention for the first time on the history, the variety, and the importance of stables in the British Isles.
