OCLC Number: 54949249. Stradanus's series depicts the horses of Don Juan of Austria, Governor-General of the Netherlands from 1576 to 1578. His designs were executed between 1578 to 1580 by several prominent engravers including Adriaen Collaert, Hieronymus Wierix, and Hendrik Goltzius. Don Juan of Austria was the illegitimate son of Charles V and a half-brother to Philip II (1555-1598), King of Spain and the Netherlands. He lead Spanish troops to their decisive victory against the Ottoman Empire at the Battle of Lepanto (1571) and became Governor-General of the Netherlands in 1576. He died of the plague in 1578. It was in the Netherlands that Stadanus drew Don Juan's collection of horses from the different regions of Europe.

Jan van der Straet is given as draughtsman on most of the plates or in their legends, variations of "Théodore Galle excudit" on many. Three engravers are named: Adrian Collaert ([1], 12), Jeronimus Wierix (4-7, 9-11, 19, 22, 24, 28, 29), and Hendrik Goltzius (15, 17, 34, 39). "Ioan Galle excud." 38, 39 (previously bearing "Phls Galle excud."). Several editions of varying numbers of the engravings, variously numbered, were issued prior to 1600 by Philip Galle, one in 1578 with the title: Equile Joannis Austriaci Caroli V. .
