About the Item

19th-Century Lithograph of the Majestic Striped or Royal Tiger This captivating 19th-century lithograph features the striped or royal tiger (De gestreepte of koninklyke Tijger), depicted in a commanding stance. Originally published in *De Zoogdieren: afgebeeld en in hunne levenswijze geschetst*, this illustration highlights the tiger’s muscular build, striking striped pattern, and piercing gaze with remarkable artistic and scientific precision. The tiger (Panthera tigris), the largest of all big cats, is native to Asia, spanning from India and China to Southeast Asia and parts of Russia. Recognized for its distinctive black stripes on an orange coat, the tiger is a solitary apex predator known for its strength, agility, and stealth. In the 19th century, tigers were subjects of great fascination in Europe, often depicted in zoological works and held in menageries. This lithograph likely represents the Bengal tiger (Panthera tigris tigris), one of the most well-documented subspecies found in the Indian subcontinent. Created by C.C. G. Zool. and printed by La Haye & J. L. G. V., this lithograph remains an important historical representation of one of the world’s most iconic and endangered wild cats. It is an excellent piece for collectors of antique zoological prints, wildlife illustrations, and those interested in early depictions of exotic animals. Keywords: 19th Century, Lithograph, Natural History, Zoology, Tiger, Bengal Tiger, Panthera Tigris, Big Cats, Wildlife Art, Scientific Illustration, Antique Print, Animal Engraving, Taxonomy, Netherlands, La Haye, J.L.G.V. --- 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, showcasing the intricate fur texture and dynamic posture of the tiger. The edges have slight irregularities due to past binding, but no major tears or folds are present. The artwork is well-preserved and highly collectible. --- Framing Tips: To enhance the dramatic presence of this lithograph, use an acid-free mat in a neutral tone, such as off-white or beige, to highlight the details. A dark wooden or black frame will provide an elegant contrast, drawing attention to the bold stripes of the tiger. UV-protective glass is recommended to prevent fading over time. If displayed with other wildlife lithographs, matching frames will create a refined and cohesive presentation.

19th-Century Lithograph of the Puma and Cheetah in Graceful Stances
Located in Langweer, NL
19th-Century Lithograph of the Puma and Cheetah in Graceful Stances This exquisite 19th-century lithograph showcases two remarkable big cats: the cougar, or puma (De Couguar of puma), and the cheetah, referred to as the "tiger wolf" (De Tijgerwolf of Gepard). Originally published in *De Zoogdieren: afgebeeld en in hunne levenswijze geschetst*, this illustration captures the physical differences between these two agile predators with remarkable accuracy. The puma (Puma concolor), also known as the mountain lion, is native to the Americas, ranging from Canada to Patagonia. Unlike other big cats, pumas lack the ability to roar, making them more closely related to smaller feline species. They are solitary hunters known for their stealth and adaptability to various terrains, from dense forests to arid deserts. The cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus...
