Visit My eBay Store: Lost River Trader ** This - Is - A - NO - RESERVE - Auction ** THIS AUCTION IS FOR THE ORIGINAL VINTAGE LARGE SIZE LITHOGRAPH ART PRINT The Arab His head is his glory, with a loftiness befitting the oldest tamed species in the world. Men judge it first. Are the eyes enormous and dark in repose? The ears small and pricked inward? The profile never Roman-nosed, but gently hollowed between forehead and muzzle? And the muzzle itself so fine the creature could drink from a teacup? If the answer to all of these is yes, the Arab is of pure blood. This blood is the fountainhead of other breeds, giving to them spirit, fleetness, docility, intelligence, symmetry, stamina. Horsemen are preserving the strain not for itself alone, but to refresh and strengthen the other breeds.
