Antoine Franconi (1738-1836), an Italian aristocrat who had settled in France in 1758, had acquired a great reputation in the field of horse training, which he practiced to a level rarely reached. Most of his family members worked with him, forming a troop of horsemen.
They became famous in the field of acrobatics and in the Parisian circus, conquering a vast public.
Our two compositions were engraved by Philibert Louis Debucourt.
