- Lipizzaner Stallions: Form and Motion - The Horses of the Spanish Riding School Photographs by Adolf Waschel. Published 1971, Vienna, # 1275 of unknown limited edition. Forewords by Prince Philip, Dr. Lehrner-Director of the Federal Stud at Piber and Hans Handler. Bound in brown calf with raised bands on spine, frontspiece and blindstamped with the Piber brand. Linen slipcase, very slight shelfwear. The condition is as NEW. 16" x 12". An astoundingly lovely compilation of black and white photographs of the Lipizzaners at Piber and the Spanish Riding School. This is evidently a presentation by a notable "salon" (art) photographer. His introduction mentions the lack of a text, as "a picture must speak for itself, otherwise it has failed to represent its subject truly". A somewhat unknown and very scarce title, this is such a elegant production that I imagine most of the copies reside in the libraries of European castles. |
