Summary

Horse brasses probably have their origins in ancient symbols intended to protect domesticated animals from harm. They proliferated in the nineteenth century when the use of horses in agriculture and transport was ubiquitous and farmers and carters took pride in the adornment of their beasts. Horse brasses, as well as decorating the walls of many country pubs, are now popular with collectors. John Vince fills in the historical background, describes the symbolism and significance of the designs and illustrates more than 200 examples. About the author John Vince has written many books and articles about bygone England and the countryside. He has a particular interest in ancient crafts and industries and he collects and restores rural bygones. Other titles for Shire by this author are: Discovering Saints in Britain
