Description: “Academy for Grown Horsemen; Containing the Completest Instructions for Walking, Trotting, Cantering, Galloping, Stumbling, and Tumbling. Illustrated with Copper Plates, and Adorned with a Portrait of the Author” [with] “Annals of Horsemanship: Containing Accounts of Accidental Experiments and Experimental Accidents, both Successful and Unsuccessful; Communicated by Various Correspondents to Geoffrey Gambado, Esq.” By Geoffrey Gambado [pseud. for William Henry Bunbury]. Published in London; Printed by W. Nicholoson for W. Baynes in 1808. 3rd edition. William Henry Bunbury [1750-1811] was an English gentleman, army officer, court figure and popular caricaturist (popular in part because, unlike some other artists, the figures in his caricatures were not drawn in the likenesses of his acquaintances and friends). His work mainly reflected his own life and experiences and those of his circle- military life, the Grand Tour of Europe, and, in this case, horse-riding. He counted such notables as Joshua Reynolds, Oliver Goldsmith and David Garrick amongst his friends, and Horace Walpole is said to have compared him to William Hogarth. Hardcover. 10.5”x13”, xxiv + 36 pages, plus 12 hand-colored plates [and] xvii + 81 pages, plus 17 hand-colored plates. Bound in full red leather with giltwork, marbled endpapers. A little minor scuffing to the covers, some very light scattered internal soil, but overall clean and nice, with a tight binding.
