Plate 42 of the Duke of Newcastle's treatise on horsemanship, 'La Methode et Invention nouvelle de Dresser les Chevaux', first published in Antwerp by Jacob van Meurs c.1658, but this example from the first English edition, 'A General System of Horsemanship in All Its Branches'.

However his estates at Bolsover and Welbeck Abbey were often the backdrop of these famous dressage plates.
