About this sheet

19th-Century Lithograph of Hunting Dogs and Dachshunds Interacting with Cats

This engaging 19th-century lithograph captures a lively depiction of dogs interacting with cats, featuring the Bracke or partridge dog (De brak, Patrijshond) and the dachshund (De dashond). Originally published in De Zoogdieren: afgebeeld en in hunne levenswijze geschetst, this print is a fine example of early zoological illustration, combining naturalistic poses with expressive animal behavior.

The Bracke, a type of scent hound, was historically used in Europe for hunting game birds such as partridges. It is depicted in a tense standoff with a defensive cat, a common scene in rural life. The dachshund, originally bred in Germany for hunting badgers, is shown playfully engaging with a cat over scattered bones, while another dachshund sits patiently, observing the interaction.

Created by C.C. G. Zool. and printed by La Haye & J. L. G. V., this lithograph highlights the curiosity and intelligence of these breeds. It is a valuable piece for collectors of antique dog prints, animal illustrations, and those interested in the history of domesticated pets and hunting dogs.

Condition Summary: The print is in good condition, with minor age-related toning and scattered foxing along the margins. The lithographic details remain sharp, with expressive shading that brings out the animals’ textures and postures. The edges show some irregularities from historical binding, but there are no major tears or folds. The overall integrity of the artwork is well-preserved.

Framing Tips: For the best display, use an acid-free mat in a soft neutral shade to enhance the fine details. A dark wooden or black frame will create a striking contrast, drawing attention to the well-executed shading. UV-protective glass is recommended to prevent fading over time. If displayed with other dog lithographs, matching frames will help create a harmonious and refined collection.
