About this sheet

Antique print titled 'Cheval Navarrois'. Copper engraving of a Cheval Navarrin, also called Navarin, Navarrois, Tarbais, Tarbésan or Bigourdin, an extinct breed of light saddle-horse from south-western France. It was bred principally in the plains of the Pyrenees around Tarbes, and in Bigorre, now in the Hautes-Pyrénées. This print originates from 'Handboek der genees- en verloskunde van het vee (..)' by A. Numan. Published by R.J. Schierbeek, 1819. Engraved by C. Fessard.
