Title: The Improved Cart-Horse [Go to resource]
Description: This is a drawing from life of a horse owned by George Barker of Elemore in County Durham. It appears in the 1800 edition of his book, 'Quadrupeds' (p.14). Thomas Bewick's 'A General History of Quadrupeds', first published in 1790, was so popular, that later editions were published in 1791,1792, 1800, 1807, 1811 and 1820. It coincided with the public's growing appetite for natural history and the publication of Gilbert White's book, 'A Natural History and Antiquities of Selbourne' (1789).
