Words of Wisdom, Receipt for the Purchase of a Horse
$18.00
Two hundred bucks for a horse that’s “free from vice, and quiet to ride and drive”? That may sound like a lot of money by 1891 standards, but when you consider the cost of owning a vice-filled horse that’s into drugs, hookers, and gambling, then you realize what a steal this baby was.

About the collection:
Way up in the boonies of Minnesota, we stumbled across an unintentionally funny instructional book from 1891. We felt it was our civic duty to share its antiquated-yet-timeless advice and illustrations with the modern world. So here it is, bit by bit, in the form of this old-timey poster series.
Every poster is screen-printed on rich khaki-colored paper by our good friends at chuxprint.com.
Collect 'em all!
