As an artist, an art historian and teacher of art who is published in both art history and art instruction, from the author's description, I expected to find a book on the art historical aspects of horses in drawings and paintings reflecting their practical roles throughout history - in other words, horses in art as a reflection of their times. But what greeted me was exactly what the title described "A Pictorial Adventure in Historical Art..." This is, indeed, a delightful collection of individual pictures by famous artists that personally appealed to the author for various reasons. It is as much a unique look at the collector as it is the art. Highly enjoyable and well worth the time and the investment.
