Item:176305889012Dog Beagles & Harrier Hounds Hunt Rabbit, Rare 1870s Antique Engraving Print.
You are bidding on a large, very rare original antique print from an 1870s French illustrated journal.
It depicts a pack of beagles and a pack of Harrier hounds closing in on a rabbit, which has just gone to ground. In the background, you can see mounted riders. It is a fascinating look at how the breeds looked, and were worked, almost 150 years ago.
It is very large (folio size), measuring approximately 10.5 x 14.5 inches (26.5 x 36.5 cm). The picture measures about 7 x 4.25 inches, with a French caption below. There is unrelated text surrounding it that could be trimmed for framing.
The caption reads: Chiens courant: Les harriers -- les beagles. This roughly translates to: Hounds -- the harriers -- the beagles.
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.
