Short Description: "Philippe-Étienne Lafosse (born 1738 in Paris, France; died June 1820 in Villeneuve-sur-Yonne, France), was a French veterinarian and the son of Étienne-Guillaume Lafosse, a farrier.

He is famous for a series of books on horse care, medicine and anatomy which feature elaborate and often highly abstracted illustrations. His works can be found today at the Ecole Nationale Vétérinaire d´Alfort, France´s oldest and most prestigious veterinary school and hospital on the outskirts of Paris. At the time of the school´s founding 1766 and Lafosse´s work, horses played an important role in French economic, and military success and as such many scientists devoted careers to the study of equine science." - (en.wikipedia.org 31.10.2019)
