This is an Original 1950's Photograph of Arabian Horse "Rasan" & driver Carolyn Davis (owned by Dr. Robert LaRue of Erie, Illinois)! This picture was used for illustration in "The Light Horse Breeds" by John W. Patten (as seen in 4th picture above).

It was originally displayed in the John W. Patten Wing at the Elizabeth, NJ, Public Library. Then it was to be displayed at the Horse Park of New Jersey and finally at a private horse museum. Many of the pictures in this collection have been used in equine books and magazines over the last 80 years.

Please see pics for condition and ask questions if you have them. There are some small imperfections due to age of photo (small creases and crop marks).
