STRONG HORSES managed to acquire the remaining edition of this book by the Dutch painter Wim Romijn, which is no longer commercially available. His detailed pictures pay homage to rural life and the coexistence of humans and animals. This volume focuses in particular on the workhorses. The text is in Dutch, the drawings and watercolors can be understood in any language.

From birth to old age, from plowing in spring to moving wood in winter, Wim Romijn brings the world of working horses closer to the viewer. He shows the different breeds, sketches in great detail the different tools and implements and graphically expresses the relationship between man and animal and man and his country. An atmospheric book about working with horses and rural life in the past.
