Bridle rosettesfunctional objects that stabilized the bridle
headstall, beautifully decorated and often imbued with family,
political, or social symbolsare roadmaps of America, spanning the
last 200 years and reminding us of the major contribution of the
horse to the development of the country. Over 10,000 different
varieties were produced between c. 1850 and 1930. In over 800 vivid
color photos many of these varieties are shown. Chapters explore
glass and metal rosettes and related hardware, composition
rosettes, and rosettes representing various organizations,
businesses (advertising), and the military. Two later chapters
present information and photographs of rosette pins, and
contemporary (post-1960) and recycled rosettes. Historians, horse
enthusiasts, collectors, and dealers alike will all treasure this
book.
