| | George Stubbs: A Celebration exhibition |
 | | The son of a currier who lived in Ormond Street, a stone's throw from Liverpool Town Hall, Stubbs was intimately acquainted with horses from his earliest days. |
 | | He was to achieve fame throughout Europe for his publication 'The Anatomy of the Horse' (1766), a study of the equine skeleton and muscles on which he laboured for nearly ten years. |
 | | Stubbs occupies a special place in the heart of many Liverpudlians, and to reflect this we asked a cross section of people connected with Liverpool, young and old, famous and unknown, to say what they felt about the pictures in the exhibition labels that were displayed at the Walker. |
