About This Item
1890 BLACK BEAUTY 1st US ed Anna Sewell Horses Equestrian Classic Animal Rights
"Black Beauty: His Grooms and Companions" by Anna Sewell is a classic tale that offers an insightful portrayal of a horse's experiences in Victorian England. Narrated by Black Beauty himself, the novel leads the reader from his serene early life on a farm, through the struggles in London, to his calm retirement in the countryside. It sheds light on the varying degrees of treatment animals receive, emphasizing compassion and empathy. The book played a pivotal role in highlighting the challenges of horse-drawn cab drivers, advocating for their improved working conditions. The novel, written during Sewell's last years, is now recognized as one of the best-selling novels of all time.
This rare 1890 first US edition also includes the well-known preface by George T. Angell.
