19th-Century Lithograph of Collared Peccary, Javanese Skunk and Nordic Wolverine

About the Item

19th-Century Lithograph of Collared Peccary, Javanese Skunk, and Nordic Wolverine This detailed 19th-century lithograph features three distinct mammals: the collared peccary (De varkenbeer met den halsband), the Javanese skunk (De Javaansche stinkdas), and the Nordic wolverine (De Noordsche veelvraat). Originally published in *De Zoogdieren: afgebeeld en in hunne levenswijze geschetst*, this print exemplifies the precision and artistry of early zoological illustrations, capturing the anatomy and unique characteristics of each species. The collared peccary, found in North, Central, and South America, resembles a wild boar and is known for its social behavior and tough hide. The Javanese skunk, native to Indonesia, is a lesser-known relative of the skunk family, recognized for its strong defensive odor. The Nordic wolverine inhabits the forests and tundra of northern Europe, Siberia, and North America, known for its strength and resilience in harsh climates. Created by C.C. G. Zool. and printed by La Haye & J. L. G. V., this lithograph showcases the growing 19th-century interest in documenting global wildlife for scientific research and educational purposes. It is a valuable piece for collectors of antique zoological prints, wildlife enthusiasts, and those fascinated by early natural history documentation. Keywords: 19th Century, Lithograph, Natural History, Zoology, Collared Peccary, Javanese Skunk, Wolverine, Scientific Illustration, Antique Print, Animal Engraving, Wildlife Art, Taxonomy, Netherlands, La Haye, J.L.G.V. --- Condition Summary: The print is in good condition, with light age-related toning and some minor foxing along the margins. The lithographic details remain crisp, with excellent shading and definition. The edges show slight irregularities due to historical binding, but there are no significant tears or creases. The overall integrity of the artwork is well-preserved, making it a fine addition to any collection. --- Framing Tips: To best showcase this lithograph, use an acid-free mat in an off-white or cream tone to complement the paper’s natural aging. A dark wooden or black frame will enhance the contrast, drawing attention to the fine details of the illustrations. UV-protective glass is recommended to prevent further discoloration. If displayed alongside other lithographs from the same series, consider using matching frames for a cohesive and professional presentation.
