Taken from Aunt Louisa's Baby Animal Picture Book, published by Frederick Warne & Co. in London and New York around 1900, this piece beautifully captures the essence of transportation and animal companionship during that era.

The vibrant colors used by Maguire bring life to each character portrayed on this canvas. The central focus lies on a man skillfully riding one of these magnificent creatures - a testament to the profound bond between humans and horses throughout history.

This print reminds us how our relationship with animals has shaped our
