These lithographs from The English Suite exhibit Théodore Géricault’s attention to working horses and the urban poor of 19th-century London. Two prints depict the horse-shoeing process; in one, the French farrier holds the horse’s hoof while an apprentice prepares a horseshoe in the back room. In another print, a Flemish farrier affixes the hot metal. In the pair of prints, an elderly man and woman are stranded in the city streets; bakers ignore the man slumped below their open shop window.
