Description du Manége Moderne. Dans sa Perfection, Expliqué par des leçons necessaires, et representé par des figures exactes, depuis l'assiette de l'homme à cheval, jusqu'à l'arrest accompagné aussi de divers mords pour bien brider les chevaux, ecrit et dessiné par le baron D'Eisenberg, et gravé par B. Picart. TRANSLATION: "Description of Modern Horsemanship. In its Perfection, Explained through necessary lessons, and depicted by accurate figures, from the rider's position on horseback to the halt, also accompanied by various bits for properly bridling horses, written and illustrated by Baron D'Eisenberg, and engraved by B. Picart."

Eisenberg, D., B Picart This work is rightly considered one of the most beautiful of the first half of the eighteenth century. The author, Baron D. Eisenberg, wrote the text and drew the plates which were engraved by B. Picart. The first seven represent the breeds of horses used at the time: the Spanish horse, the Barbe, the German horse, the Neapolitan, the English horse, the Turkish horse, and the Arabian horse of which this is the first representation in a work in French. The plate showing the Naples horse is important because documents representing this extinct breed are extremely rare; the only one to have given us a drawing worthy of interest being Duke William of Newcastle. This series of engravings is a real pleasure for the eyes of the amateur, who, thanks to the precision of the drypoint, finds particularly well transcribed the particularities of the model of each of the breeds studied. The plates numbered VIII to LV represent squires on horseback and the name of each horse is mentioned in the upper left corner of the engravings. The last four plates represent seven figures of bits. Concerning the equestrian doctrine itself, Eisenberg places himself between the Duke of Newcastle to whom he pays homage in his introduction and from whom he draws inspiration in the use of the cavesson, and the teaching of La Guérinière for some of the figures he uses and which without naming it. · Zurich
