TYPES OF MODEKN H0KSE8 



The collection of types of modern horses is designed to show, first, 

 the highest standards produced by breeding; second, the mechanical 

 perfection of the skeleton of the horse in the various extremes of motion 

 and action, chiefly as studied through instantaneous photography. Mr. 

 S. H. Chubb has been in charge of the i)reparation of this series since 

 1901, and has reached a standard of ti-uth and artistic perfection never 

 before attained.
