Blue cloth with gilt titles, color pictorial endpapers. "In the late eighteenth century livestock breeding swept the country with the urgency of any newly created fashion. The livestock portraits of the day form the only record of many of these early breeds which are now endangered, extinct or changed beyond recognition.
