About this work

This image shows a rider on a rearing horse, playing a bugle. The rider’s arm is raised high, holding the instrument to their mouth. The horse’s front legs are lifted off the ground, and its mane is blowing. The background is a soft, cloudy sky with faint brushstrokes. The title at the bottom reads *Bugle Call*, and the print was made using a technique that lets artists draw directly on stone. This was common in the mid-1800s. Next, look up lithography to see how artists like Fabronius made prints like this.
