About the Item

19th-Century Lithograph of Foxes, Fennec Fox, and Senegal Jackal in the Wild Description:This fascinating 19th-century lithograph features three distinct canid species: the red fox (De vos), the fennec fox (De Zerda), and the Senegalese jackal (De Senegalsche jakhals). Originally published in *De Zoogdieren: afgebeeld en in hunne levenswijze geschetst*, this illustration showcases the diverse adaptations of these wild canids in different ecosystems. The red fox (Vulpes vulpes), depicted in dynamic postures, is one of the most widespread land mammals, inhabiting forests, grasslands, and urban areas across Europe, North America, and Asia. The fennec fox (Vulpes zerda), native to the Sahara Desert and North Africa, is recognized for its large ears, which help dissipate heat in its arid environment. The Senegalese jackal (Lupulella mesomelas senegalensis), found in West Africa, is part of the black-backed jackal species, known for its strong pack dynamics and scavenging behavior. Created by C.C. G. Zool. and printed by La Haye & J. L. G. V., this lithograph is an exceptional representation of wild canids and a valuable piece for collectors of antique zoological prints, wildlife illustrations, and historical natural history studies. Keywords: 19th Century, Lithograph, Natural History, Zoology, Red Fox, Fennec Fox, Senegal Jackal, 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 mild age-related toning and slight foxing along the margins. The lithographic details remain sharp, preserving the intricate shading and fine anatomical rendering of the canids. Some minor irregularities on the edges due to past binding are present, but no major tears or folds. The print remains a well-preserved and highly collectible piece. --- Framing Tips: To enhance this lithograph’s presentation, use an acid-free mat in a light neutral shade to complement the print’s natural aging. A dark wooden or black frame will provide an elegant contrast, drawing attention to the delicate detailing. UV-protective glass is recommended to preserve the artwork’s integrity. If displayed with other wildlife lithographs, consider using matching frames for a cohesive and professional display.
