You are bidding on a very rare original antique engraving from an 1870s French illustrated journal.
It depicts a Curly Coated Retriever . What is really neat about this, is that the surrounding text is on the Curly Coated Retriever .
The caption reads: Les Chiens Anglais: Le Retriever which roughly translates to: The English Dogs: The Retriever
It is very large (folio size), measuring approximately 10.5 x 14.5 inches (26.5 x 36.5 cm). The picture area is about 6.5 x 5 inches (16.5 x 13 cm), with a French caption below and text surrounding it. The text could easily be trimmed before framing, or hidden under a window mat.
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.
This print will come with a Certificate of Authenticity.
