About the Item
19th-Century Lithograph of Egyptian Mongoose, Dark Mongoose, and Ringtail Marten
This exceptional 19th-century lithograph features three unique members of the mustelid and herpestid families: the Egyptian mongoose (De Egyptische Ichneumon), the dark-colored mongoose (De donkerkleurige Mango), and the ring-tailed marten (De rolstaart Marter). Originally published in 'De Zoogdieren: afgebeeld en in hunne levenswijze geschetst', this print showcases the attention to detail and scientific precision characteristic of early zoological studies.
The Egyptian mongoose (Herpestes ichneumon), native to North Africa and parts of the Mediterranean, is known for its role in controlling snake populations and its historical association with ancient Egyptian mythology. The dark-colored mongoose, likely a reference to species within the 'Herpestes' genus, is found across Africa and Asia, recognized for its adaptability and social behavior. The ring-tailed marten, possibly inspired by the cacomistle ('Bassariscus sumichrasti'), is native to Central America and is known for its distinctive curled tail and arboreal lifestyle.
Created by C.C. G. Zool. and printed by La Haye & J. L. G. V., this lithograph is a valuable piece for collectors of antique zoological prints, wildlife illustrations, and historical natural history documentation.

Condition Summary:
The print is in good condition, with minor age-related toning and light foxing primarily along the margins. The lithographic details remain crisp, highlighting the rich textures of the animals' fur and anatomical accuracy. The edges have slight irregularities from historical binding, but there are no major tears or folds. The overall integrity of the print is well-preserved, making it an excellent collectible.
---
Framing Tips: For an elegant presentation, use an acid-free mat in a light neutral shade to enhance the fine details. A dark wooden or black frame will create a strong contrast, emphasizing the rich shading of the illustrations. UV-protective glass is recommended to preserve the lithograph’s quality. If displayed alongside other natural history prints, uniform framing will help maintain a cohesive and sophisticated collection.
