WOLF DOG /
SIBERIAN DOG

Issued London: 1797.

Charming and uncommon original antique engraved print.

Printed on period hand-made paper as issued, which shows light signs of age, but still remains mostly clean & well preserved.

This particular type of very precise detailed engraved plate process was very laborious, involving long-apprenticed, highly trained hand artisans. It also involved challenging hand-operated machinery, inking of plates, sheets of paper individually hung to dry, patience, skill acquired over many years of apprenticeship and other endless tasks and labor. Because of these and various other factors, this printed leaf is an interesting original artifact from an era of image creation permanently long past.

CONDITION:

Please review the zoom-able scan -- this forms a central part of the description and is superior to any words.

[note: We grade very conservatively and always seek to disclose any noteworthy flaws. We are doing our best to accurately offer this item so you are happy when it arrives.]

A nice well inked impression, nice range of tonality- shows signs of over 200 years existence, yet still rather well-preserved. Some light age dustiness or foxing spots/ small scattered staining as clearly visible within picture provided.

Still very pleasant to hold in hand and inspect this charming old small engraved image.

In all, remains a charming antique printed image any collector, dealer, institution or person of taste would be pleased to own or display in a frame.

Sheet measures c. 4\" W x 6 1/2\" H.

Engraved area measures c. 2 7/8\" W x 4 3/4\" H.
