“Mad Arabian and Lamb” is a full page book plate image taken from “Our Four-Footed Friends”, by Mary Howitt, and published by S.W.Partridge in 1867. The story line in the book draws a short anecdote delivered by a Mr Goldilands to some children in which he is quoted as follows: “The good old man smiled, and pondered for a moment, then said that the only instance which occurred to him at that moment was that of a lamb which was the inseparable companion of a horse, supposed, at one time, to be untameable. This was a horse belonging to Mr.Jennings, and called ‘The Mad Arabian,’ from his furious disposition. He was afterwards tamed by Hughes, of the London Circus, and became so attached to a lamb that he would allow it to mount his back and gambol upon his shoulders.”
Prints currently available in A4, A3 and A2 sizing options.
