Lot N. 227
Ippologia ossia Trattato Universale de’ Cavalli
Author: Gio. Ant. Maria Gazzola
Printed in Naples in 1842 by Tipografia e Calcografia Batelli e Comp.
Half-folio volume, bound in rigid vellum, with the title and author on a red background in gold lettering. The volume is richly illustrated, with some plates larger than the text. It appears to be a third edition, following two earlier editions printed in Florence in 1837 and 1838.
The work is complete and provides an extensive treatment of hippology, with many of the engravings hand-colored, including the one beneath the title on the first page.
