The British Stable by Giles Worsley

The British Stable by Giles Worsley   The British Stable

Illustrated with over 1oo photographs by the noted photographer William Curtis Rolf, The British Stable is a must-have coffee table book for students of history, architecture, and horses – or in this case, the confluence of all three.

Author Giles Worsley explores stables built from the 12th century to 1914 and perhaps only Curtis-Rolf could so elegantly capture the ways in which these stables were designed – at a time when horses were revered – to showcase their noble inhabitants.

Hardcover, 316 pages.

      @tencentcielo but they HAD good beer. The only thing they didn’t have was key lime pie on a stick, chocolate or otherwise. tragic.

    @nataliegallops @dappledgrey *sigh* all the pretty…

    • nataliegallops

      @jenmontfort I know! And we get excited by Morton prefabs :(

        @nataliegallops hella lame. It’s true, late 1800′s British landed aristocracy is really where it’s at.

        • nataliegallops

          @jenmontfort that’s why I love historical novels. Those girls had it ALL. I’d trade voting rights for a stable like these. Truth.

        • jenmontfort

          @nataliegallops preach. We’d also be those cool aristocratic ladies that managed to defy convention & kick ass on the hunt field, it’s true.

        • nataliegallops

          @jenmontfort hell yeah we would. We’d ride in scandalous lady’s races

        • jenmontfort

          @nataliegallops AND we’d get to wear awesome habits. Awesome, awesome habits.

        • nataliegallops

          @jenmontfort WHY did the suffragettes take this away from us? We were meant to be miladies!!!

        • jenmontfort

          @nataliegallops suffragettes and their “equal rights” and “votes for women” “horses for women!” that’s what we need!

        • nataliegallops

          @jenmontfort FOR REAL. “Horses for women” would fix so many women, too.

        • jenmontfort

          @nataliegallops amen sista, amen
