Equestrian Equipment Journal — Alp Camille Jeune 1890 Parisian Saddlery Catalog Jockey Gear Chromolithograph Notebook

Carry the elegance of the Belle Époque stable — when Alp Camille Jeune's Parisian saddlery, established in 1826, documented the finest equestrian equipment of the era with chromolithographic precision and French craftsmanship at its most refined.

In 1890, Alp Camille Jeune — one of Paris's most distinguished saddlery houses, founded in 1826 — published a trade catalog documenting their complete range of equestrian equipment with the chromolithographic technique that defined French luxury craftsmanship during the Belle Époque. The catalog served both as a commercial document and as a record of the extraordinary precision engineering that went into every saddle, bridle, stirrup, and girth produced by the Parisian saddlery industry at its peak. This distinguished hardcover journal presents a contemporary composition rebalancing two plates from the 1890 catalog — Plate 102.B documenting jockey equipment on the front, and military horse tack and cavalry gear on the back — celebrating the full range of Jeune's equestrian craftsmanship.

Front Cover — Jockey Equipment, Plate 102.B, Alp Camille Jeune, Paris, 1890:
The front cover presents a contemporary rebalanced composition of Plate 102.B from Jeune's 1890 catalog, documenting jockey equipment with the chromolithographic precision that made French saddlery catalogs the definitive reference for equestrian professionals across Europe. Saddles, bridles, stirrups, and girths are rendered with extraordinary attention to leather textures, metal fittings, and the fine stitching details that distinguished Parisian craftsmanship from all competitors. The multi-layer chromolithographic printing technique captures the warm tones of fine leather, the gleam of polished brass and steel, and the precise geometry of equestrian engineering with a fidelity that anticipates modern technical illustration.

Back Cover — Military Horse Tack & Cavalry Equipment, 1890:
The back cover presents military horse tack and cavalry gear from the same 1890 catalog — including the remarkable étui à dynamite and axe holder that document the full range of Jeune's military utility applications. The chromolithographs reveal the dual nature of the 19th-century Parisian saddlery industry: serving both the elegant world of civilian equestrianism and the practical demands of the French cavalry with equal precision and craftsmanship. Together, the two covers offer a complete portrait of Alp Camille Jeune's 1890 range — from the jockey's saddle to the cavalry soldier's field equipment.
