About the Item
19th-Century Lithograph of a Lioness with Her Playful Cubs in the Wild
This tender 19th-century lithograph beautifully captures a lioness (De Leeuwin) with her young cubs (hare jongen), illustrating a moment of maternal care and playfulness. Originally published in *De Zoogdieren: afgebeeld en in hunne levenswijze geschetst*, this artwork is a fine example of early zoological illustration, combining scientific accuracy with emotional depth. The detailed shading brings out the muscular grace of the mother and the playful energy of her cubs.
The Barbary lioness (Panthera leo leo), depicted here, was once found in the Atlas Mountains of North Africa, though now extinct in the wild. Barbary lions were known for their large size and thick fur, adapting to colder climates compared to their sub-Saharan relatives. Lionesses played a crucial role in hunting and raising cubs within the pride, ensuring their survival through teaching and protection.
Created by C.C. G. Zool. and printed by La Haye & J. L. G. V., this lithograph is a valuable addition for collectors of antique zoological prints, wildlife art enthusiasts, and those interested in historical representations of Africa’s great predators.

Condition Summary:
The print is in good condition, with some mild age-related toning and slight foxing along the margins. The lithographic details remain crisp, highlighting the lioness's strength and the cubs’ lively expressions. The edges show minor irregularities due to past binding, but no major tears or folds are present. The artwork is well-preserved and highly collectible.

Framing Tips:
To best present this lithograph, use an acid-free mat in a neutral tone, such as off-white or beige, to enhance the print’s natural aging. A dark wooden or black frame will provide an elegant contrast, drawing attention to the delicate shading. UV-protective glass is recommended to prevent fading over time. If displayed with other wildlife lithographs, matching frames will create a refined and cohesive collection.
