Georgii Simonis Winteri, Bellerophon, sive, Eques peritus : hoc est, artis equestris accuratissima institutio : opere bipartito, seu duobus libris, absoluta ..
Georg Simon Winter's Bellerophon, sive, Eques peritus, printed in Nuremberg in 1678 by the Endter firm, is a early modern manual on horsemanship and horse training for riders and horse trainers. The plates show horses being worked on a lunge, over poles and in the ring, with riders and grooms in the foreground, rendered in fine engraved line. A designer might take from them the tight hatching, the rearing horse silhouettes, and the diagonal compositions that suit historical equestrian themes.
