You are bidding on a large, very rare original antique engraving from an 1870s French illustrated journal.
It depicts a crossbow bowhunter (bow hunting, Bowhunting) climbing down to reach the 8-point buck stag he has killed. Beautiful hunting print.
The caption reads: La source du cerf which roughly translates to: Thesourceofthe deer
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 it, with a French caption below and text surrounding it.
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.
