The original book, illustrated by Harry Payne, was published by Raphael Tuck Sons in 1882. It offers a charming overview of the kinds of horses that Victorian children would have been familiar with, from the Arabian to the Zebra, via Barge horses, Fire Engine horses, Knight’s horses, Life Boat horses, and Waggon horses, among many others.
