Wood-engraved illustration, removed from the magazine. Matted in shrinkwrap (not examined under the mat). Overall ca. 18 x 14 inches, image ca. 13 1/2 x 8 1/2 inches. Klepper's name is misspelled "Klopper" in the caption. Engraved by Horace Baker, superintendent of Frank Leslie's engraving department. Photo shows reflections. In an arena crowded with gentleman and lady riders, and an attendant, a young girl (her hair still down) takes her first lesson at a walk on a leading rein. A nice rich impression by this illustrator who specialized in equestrian and war scenes for popular magazines in the 1890s. Shipping/handling will be extra; please keep this in mind when ordering. Very good (old crease down center).
