You are bidding on a large, very rare original antique engraving from an 1870s French illustrated journal.
It depicts a wolf jumping through the window of the barn, and grabbing a lamp from the flock of sheep. The shepherd and guard dog is nowhere to be seen. A cautionary tail for having a livestock guardian dog-- or two!
The caption reads: faute d'un guardien
which roughly translates to: Absence of Guardian
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.
