"The present book is the first publication in English devoted to an artist who is remembered and appreciated primarily for his spirited portrayals of horses. However a more inclusive survey of his drawings and watercolors reveals Gericault as an artist of infinitely greater stature and indeed as one of the key figures of French nineteenth century art. The text of this book presents a study on the development of Gericault's style and a carefully annotated catalogue of the plates which include many unpublished drawings and watercolors taken largely from American collections."- Dust jacket "Catalogue": pages 22-34.
