I am looking for a print I saw about 30 or more years ago it was on a calendar page. It was a seascape, dark, moody. It was waves crashing on the beach but when you looked closer it was horses the white frothly part of the wave was horse heads one after the other giving the appearance of crashing waves. Is anybody familiar with it and/ or do you know the title or artist?
Thanks for your help

Perhaps it is the following print "Neptune's Horses" by Walter Crane (August 15, 1845 - March 14, 1915).

If this is the print that you remember, then information about the artist can be found here: Walter Crane - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter_Crane)

A quote from the site above, ""Neptune's Horses," was exhibited at the New Gallery in 1893, and with it may be classed his "Rainbow and the Wave."
