From The Hermès Fall-Winter 1993/94 Seasonal Scarf Booklet: In the old days, horses ridden in battle were so strong that they could withstand the terrible crashes once painted by Uccello, which would break our modern mounts to bits. Later on, the descendants of those proud chargers were hitched to carriages, then to plows, and even to beer wagons. In their harnesses they dreamed of their long-lost glory. Here, two English shires, surrounded by percherons, other shires and clydesdales.

From The Hermès Spring-Summer 1996 Seasonal Scarf Booklet: With their massive stature and stalwart necks, here are the Percherons, the Clydesdales and the Shires parading in a ring, within a frame of martingales, or chest straps, adorned with the horse-brasses so beloved of English harness-makers. These heavy horses are the descendants of the battle chargers of olden times and if their valour in modern times has been confined to agricultural tasks, transport and commerce, their pride has yet remained intact.
