$59.95
You are offerding on a very rare original antiqueengraving from an 1870s French illustrated journal.
It depicts the English Water Spaniel, which has been extinct since the first part of the 20th century, with the last specimen seen in the 1930s. It was best known for its use in hunting waterfowl and for being able to dive as well as a duck. It is described as similar to a Collie or to a cross between a Poodle and a Springer Spaniel with curly fur and typically in a white and liver/tan pattern. Pre-dating the Irish Water Spaniel and thought to have been referred to by Shakespeare in Macbeth, it is believed to have genetically influenced several modern breeds of dog, including the American Water Spaniel, Curly Coated Retriever and the modern variety of Field Spaniel.
Surrounding the picture is text about the breed. A long article starts above it and continues to the back of the page. It is in French, but free computer translation programs make it easy to translate.
The caption reads: L\'epagneul d\'eau (vater spaniel)
which roughly translates to: Water spaniel
It is very large (folio size), measuring approximately 10.5 x 14.5 inches (26.5 x 36.5 cm). The picture area is about8.5 x 5.5inches (21.5 x14 cm), with a Frenchcaption below and textabove 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.
