📘 Horses of the Sun: A Gallery of the World’s Most Exquisite Equines
By Robert Vavra | Drawings by Roger Bansemer | Foreword by William Shatner
Published in 1995 by William Morrow and Company, Inc. | First Edition

This oversized, exquisitely bound First Edition is a standout in both content and craftsmanship. Created by world-renowned horse photographer Robert Vavra, Horses of the Sun celebrates the beauty, strength, and grace of eighteen equines from six distinctive breeds: Arabian, Andalusian, Morgan, American Saddlebred, Friesian, and Peruvian Paso.

The volume opens with a thoughtful foreword by actor and accomplished horseman William Shatner, setting the tone for this heartfelt tribute to the horse. Vavra’s photography captures each animal in motion and in nature—snow, wildflower meadows, autumn woods, and desert light—while Roger Bansemer’s accompanying illustrations and breed profiles deepen the experience. A special essay focuses on the romantic heritage of the Andalusian horse. Selected verses of poetry are interwoven throughout, complementing the visual storytelling.

 

This edition is especially striking for its Easton Press–style production values:

• Premium leather binding with a classic hubbed spine

• Genuine 22KT gold accents

• Gilded page edges and moiré silk endpapers

• Smyth-sewn pages on archival, acid-neutral paper

• Permanent satin ribbon marker

  

The book is in excellent condition, with bright, unmarred covers and clean, vivid pages. It’s a beautiful piece to display—and an even more captivating one to explore.

An exceptional addition for collectors of equine literature, fine photography books, or high-quality decorative volumes. Perfect gift idea for that horse-lover you know!
