Description
General stud book first edition year 1793 with the added value being the supplement year 1800.
H Reynell for J Weatherby Junior, every page is very good readable condition for 229 years old with only the covers split on each as pictured.
This catalogues the very early day of British thoroughbreds whose offspring went worldwide, they were regarded as the very best !
ESTC = English Short-Title Catalogue record only 6 UK copies (Cambridge, Cardiff, Durham and St.Andrews university libraries, Longleat House, and Wellcome Institute), and 3 are in America.
So as far as my research goes only 9 known copies are in existence, your chance to own no 10 and be the only known private UK holder.
The price is the price and non negotiable, I am in no rush to sell.
GREAT PRESENT FOR THE HORSEY MAN THAT HAS EVERYTHING, GARENTEED HE WILL NOT HAVE ONE OF THESE !
Overseas buyer welcome but money to be cleared in my bank before any post at buyers expense.
Interested e mail only please initially, No txts or with held numbers, phone pests and scammers blocked instantly ! AD STILL LIVE = STILL FOR SALE.
