You are bidding on a large, very rare original antique engraving from an 1870s French illustrated journal.
It depicts a wolf trap, in which a pack of hungry wolves are lured into a pen by bait sheep (alive). Three hunters take aim of the three wolves in the pen, as they kill the poor sheep. Many more wolves wait outside the pen.
Also included with the print is a second page from the same journal with a 4-inch article about the hunt. It is in French, but free computer translation programs make it easy to translate.
The caption reads: Une piege a loups
which roughly translates to: A wolf trap
It is very large (folio size), measuring approximately 10.5 x 14.5 inches (26.5 x 36.5 cm). The picture fills most of the page, with a French caption below.
The page is in excellent condition for its age. There is text/photos on the back of the print. See scan for an accurate view of the condition.
