About This Item

First and only edition, commissioned by the board of the Württemberg stud, the first Arabian stud farm in Europe. This almost unobtainable series of large format plates shows the stud’s full-blooded Arabian horses with decorative oriental backgrounds. The plates constitute extremely early examples of chalk lithographs (listed individually by Winkler, Frühzeit der dt. Lithographie, 180, 57). Kuntz (1797-1848) was known for his "excellent depictions of horses" (Thieme-Becker); throughout his brief career he studied thoroughbreds in England, Hungary and Paris as well as in Germany. In 1832 he became Painter to the Court of Karlsruhe, Baden; he suffered a stroke in 1846 and died in the newly-founded Illenau mental hospital. The present series was issued in three parts, from 1823 to 1824, each with 6 chalk lithographs. Wenceslaus Rzewusky wrote the descriptions of the horses. Of the utmost rarity, no copy of the complete series with all three parts as present here traceable in auction records.l Nissen 2327; Thieme-Becker X, 444 & XXII, 116; Winkler, Die Frühzeit der dt. Lithographie 180.57; WorldCat (1 copy, at UB Utrecht, lacking 1 plate).
