You are bidding on a very rare original antique engraving from an 1870s French illustrated journal.
It depicts hunters using a trained ferret to hunt rabbits. The ferret has jumped on the back of a huge hare and is bringing it to ground.
The caption roughly translates to: Hunting with Ferrets
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 8.5 x 5.5 inches (21.5 x 14 cm), with a French caption below and text above 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.
