Horses and Hounds of the Genesee

Regular price $ 8.00
80 pp. A collection of art featuring horses and hunting. Includes black-and-white illustrations. "This small show of locally owned paintings and sculpture is an endeavor to make the horseman more conscious of art and the artist more conscious of the horse." "The Genesee Valley Hunt was founded in 1876, apparently in a burst of enthusiasm for country sports resulting from a paper chase on the Big Tree Farm involving W. Austin Wadsworth, James W. Wadsworth (Senior), Arthur Post and George Williams." "The Genesee Valley Breeders Association, Inc. was founded at Avon, New York in 1914 and incorporated as a membership association under the system of New York State Town and County Fairs. Its original purpose was to aid and encourage the breeding of hunters."
