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

About the Item

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. Keywords: 19th Century, Lithograph, Natural History, Zoology, Bracke, Partridge Dog, Dachshund, Hunting Dogs, 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 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.

Jacob Cats – Dutch Poet and Statesman, 19th-Century Hand-Colored Lithograph
Located in Langweer, NL
Jacob Cats – Dutch Poet and Statesman, 19th-Century Hand-Colored Lithograph Item Description: This 19th-century hand-colored lithograph portrays Jacob Cats, one of the most beloved poets and moralists of the Dutch Golden Age. Born in 1577, Cats served as a jurist, politician, and Grand Pensionary of Holland, but he is best remembered for his richly illustrated emblem books and rhymed moral teachings that were household staples in the Netherlands for centuries. His work influenced generations of Dutch families and writers alike. Cats is depicted seated at his writing desk, pen in hand, with books and manuscripts surrounding him. His composed yet thoughtful expression, modest attire, and scholarly setting all reflect the dual life he led as both a literary figure and a statesman. The background features shelves of books, a richly patterned tablecloth, and finely detailed textures that emphasize his intellectual world. This lithograph was drawn by W F Hoevenaar and printed by P W van de Weijer in Utrecht. It demonstrates the refined character and quiet dignity often associated with Cats' legacy, rendered with subtle, hand-applied color and careful linework. Details: - Subject: Jacob Cats, Dutch poet, jurist, and statesman - Date: Circa 1850 - Technique: Hand-colored lithograph - Artist: W F Hoevenaar - Printer: P W van de Weijer, Utrecht - Sheet size: [Insert measurements here] - Condition: Good; well-preserved with clear detail and minimal signs of aging - Printed title below image: Jacob Cats Framing Suggestion: Best presented in a classic wooden frame with archival matting and UV-protective glass. A soft ivory or parchment-colored mat will highlight the literary tone of the piece. Shipping: Professionally packed and shipped worldwide from our gallery in the Netherlands.
