Beautiful Antique Spanish Stallion Elegant Poster
"Hispanus" - Beautiful wall art / poster reproduced from an Elegant Old Engraving - Galloping Spanish stallion. Reproduction of a 16th century engraving from one of the greatest illustrated horse books of all time. The book was called Equile, and it depicts horses from the extraordinary stables of Don Juan of Austria, the Governor-General of the Netherlands. Don Juan of Austria was the illegitimate son of Charles the fifth and a half-brother to Philip the Second, King of Spain and the Netherlands. It was Don Juan who led the Spanish troops to their decisive victory against the Ottoman Empire at the famous Battle of Lepanto in 1571. He later became Governor-General of the Netherlands, and it was there that he began to assemble an extraordinary collection of horses from all the regions of Europe. Don Juan invited a well known artist of the time - Jan van der Straet - known by his Latin name -- Stradanus to draw portraits of the stallions in his stables. The top Dutch engravers of that time worked from Stradanus's drawings to create the engravings for the book.

Creator Review
I am just delighted with the quality of the Archival Heavyweight Paper which is the pefect paper for the antique image prints and vintage illustrations in our shop. The heavy weight and fine feeling of this paper instantly elevates your poster to the level of a gift - even when unframed. The printing is excellent. This poster comes from our own shop and was ordered for ourselves and as a test. We couldn't be more pleased. Some photos are included below just after the poster was taken out of the tube (so still lightly rolled at edges!). Beautiful print quality! I've included a close up of a detail so that you can see how fine it looks. Beautifully done. I am so pleased!

I was so amazed at how this all turned out. Everyone who attended the funeral was in awe of how beautiful it was made.
And I owe it all to Zazzle. I wouldn’t have done it better myself not to mention I wouldnt have time to do it.
The great part of it all was they had templates that was catered to my needs and that I could use it in ways I wanted to use to resize it my way. It took some time but I was happy it turned out great. I did 100 photos, 89, 66 photos (I think) lol templates.
The only suggestion is that the templates, before sending through would tell you of errors like; saying please revise or resize it again for any photos that is not perfectly well sitting or not show it’s cutting off some of them and where it tells you there’s duplicates.
Staring, placing and resizing all 100 + pictures into the template can be tiresome and overwhelming and it makes my eyes blurred that I can’t tell if they’re cutting off or overlapping or duplicates.
Overall I am very pleased and will be using Zazzle again should the need arises.
Thank you Zazzle.
Altogether I’ve done 3 collages 1 profile picture and couple pictures with 1 frame and yet this is my first time ordering as a 1 time customer.
Prices were very reasonable and accommodating to my finances.
