19th-Century Lithograph of the African and European Wild Cats in Natural Poses

About the Item

19th-Century Lithograph of the African and European Wild Cats in Natural Poses --- This beautifully detailed 19th-century lithograph features two distinct wild cat species: the African wild cat (*Felis lybica*), labeled as "De Afrikaansche wilde Kat," and the European wild cat (Felis silvestris), labeled as "De Europeesche wilde Kat." Originally published in 'De Zoogdieren: afgebeeld en in hunne levenswijze geschetst', this print highlights the anatomical differences and natural behaviors of these elusive felines. The African wild cat, shown standing elegantly on a branch, is considered the ancestor of modern domestic cats (Felis catus). It is native to North Africa, the Middle East, and parts of Asia, thriving in arid landscapes where its keen hunting skills help it survive. This cat’s slender body, large ears, and faintly striped coat make it highly efficient at blending into its surroundings. The European wild cat, depicted gripping prey in its jaws, is a stockier and more muscular feline found in dense forests across Europe and western Asia. Unlike its African counterpart, it has a bushier tail, a thicker coat for cold climates, and a highly reclusive nature. Though visually similar to a domestic tabby, it remains a wild predator with a fierce hunting instinct. Created by C.C. G. Zool. and printed by La Haye & J. L. G. V., this lithograph is a remarkable piece for collectors of antique zoological prints, wildlife enthusiasts, and those interested in the evolutionary history of felines.

Condition Summary: The print is in good condition, with mild age-related toning and light foxing visible along the margins. The lithographic details remain crisp, particularly in the fur textures and expressive postures of the wild cats. The edges have minor irregularities from past binding, but no major tears or folds are present. The artwork is well-preserved and highly collectible. --- Framing Tips: To enhance the lithograph’s intricate details, use an acid-free mat in a neutral tone, such as off-white or light beige. A dark wooden or black frame will create a bold contrast, emphasizing the wild cats’ striking features. UV-protective glass is recommended to prevent fading over time. If displayed alongside other wildlife lithographs, matching frames will provide a refined and cohesive presentation.
