Each print in the series was meticulously crafted, showcasing Ward's exceptional skill in engraving and his deep understanding of the equine form. The prints were highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts, reflecting the cultural and historical importance of these animals in the early 19th century.

Ward's depiction of Marengo captures the horse's noble bearing and the strength that made him a favorite of Napoleon. The print is a testament to Ward's ability to blend artistic finesse with historical narrative, providing viewers with a glimpse into the past and the remarkable creatures that shaped it.
