A Field of Horses: The World of Marshall P. Hawkins (The Derrydale Press Foxhunters' Library) - Hardcover

The late Marshall Hawkins is the undisputed dean of American equine sporting photography. His images provide an artful historical record of the personalities, the horses, and the sporting terrain of the latter half of the twentieth century. His output was prodigious, his compositions flawless, and his landscapes often moody and dramatic. The accompanying text by James L. Young, MFH is literate, stylish, and instructive, providing a perfect counterpoint to the photographer's art.

Young, earned a doctorate in education. He has served as Master of the Orange County Hunt since 1982 and is past president of the Masters of Foxhounds Association of America.
