A Percheron History -photographic montage

I have selected "a few" photos from my assortment of books, magazines, ads and printed matter and put together a little slide show.

Sources for the photos were Haras du Pin, print ads, Col Walters book "The Percheron Horse", 1st edition -art book, Percheron magazines and journals, material from the PHAOA.






From...The Rider and Driver, Dec 11, 1897

OUT DOOR WRAPS FOR WOMEN WHO RIDE OR DRIVE (I guess that formal equine wear for women sometimes came in something other than an apron!)
