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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFront Cover — Jockey Equipment, Plate 102.B, Alp Camille Jeune, Paris, 1890:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBack Cover — Military Horse Tack \u0026amp; Cavalry Equipment, 1890:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy This Journal Inspires:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlp Camille Jeune's 1890 Parisian saddlery catalog — chromolithographic documentation of French equestrian craftsmanship at its Belle Époque peak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJockey equipment, military horse tack, saddles, bridles, stirrups, girths, and cavalry gear — the complete range of a Parisian saddlery established in 1826\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContemporary rebalanced composition celebrating the precision engineering and leather craftsmanship of the 19th-century French saddlery industry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe perfect companion for riding notes, equestrian training logs, horse care records, or vintage craftsmanship research\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Hardcover lined journal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePages: 150 perforated lined pages for easy removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBinding: Casewrap sewn binding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 5.5 × 8.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: Approximately 400g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCover: Matte laminated full-wrap print\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect For:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEquestrians and horse riding enthusiasts documenting training, competition, and stable notes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVintage saddlery, horse tack, and equestrian heritage collectors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdmirers of Belle Époque French craftsmanship and chromolithographic illustration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGift for anyone captivated by the elegance, precision, and tradition of Parisian equestrianism\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStudents and researchers of 19th-century French luxury craftsmanship and cavalry history\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNature and sport journalers drawn to the intersection of technical precision and artistic beauty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eCarry the elegance of the Belle Époque stable — where Alp Camille Jeune's chromolithographic precision gave the saddle, the bridle, and the stirrup the dignity and beauty of fine art.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEU representative:\u003c\/strong\u003e HONSON VENTURES LIMITED, gpsr@honsonventures.com, 3, Gnaftis House flat 102, Limassol, Mesa Geitonia, 4003, CY\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct information:\u003c\/strong\u003e Generic brand, 2 year warranty in EU and Northern Ireland as per Directive 1999\/44\/EC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare instructions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Use a soft, clean and dry cloth to gently brush any dust or dirt off from the center of book outwards.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"LeBonJournal","offers":[{"title":"Journal","offer_id":62849046544753,"sku":"29492288056036637639","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/5367\/0769\/files\/equestrian-equipment-journal-alp-camille-jeune-1890-jockey-gear.jpg?v=1770308508","url":"https:\/\/lebonjournal.com\/products\/equestrian-journal-jeune-1890-saddlery","provider":"LeBonJournal","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
