You are bidding on a huge original antique print from an 1870s illustrated journal. It depicts the "dog boy" (a young man in charge of the hunting dogs) with his pony and pack of clumber spaniel dogs. A rich bounty of rabbits, pheasants and grouse lie nearby.

The page is very fragile and a crack ciould start to the left of the fold line if handled roughly. Best to get this one in a frame as soon as possible!. 

It is very large (double folio size), measuring approximately 21.5 x 15.75 inches (54.5 x 40 cm). The picture fills most of the page, with a caption below. The back of this print is blank, meaning it was a rarer special supplement.

The print has a fold in the middle, where it was folded into the magazine long ago. Note that the fold line is clean and undamaged, because it was "tipped" into the binding. This was a luxury binding technique of that era, because the double page prints were free of binding holes down the center.

The page is in excellent condition for its age. See scan for an accurate view of the condition.

This print will come with a Certificate of Authenticity.
