About the Item
19th-Century Lithograph of a Raccoon and Bear – Stunning Natural History Print
This finely executed 19th-century lithograph presents a striking depiction of a raccoon (De waschbeer of raccoon) and a bear (De beer met den langen snuit), along with detailed studies of the bear’s head in profile and frontal views. Originally published in De Zoogdieren: afgebeeld en in hunne levenswijze geschetst, this illustration reflects the era’s dedication to scientific accuracy and artistic detail in natural history documentation.
Created by C.C. G. Zool. and printed by La Haye & J. L. G. V., this lithograph captures the textural qualities of the animals’ fur and their defining facial features with remarkable precision. The shading technique gives depth and realism to the subjects, making it an excellent example of 19th-century zoological illustration.
The inclusion of multiple perspectives of the bear’s head suggests a study of its anatomy, a characteristic approach in early scientific research aimed at understanding wildlife. This print is a valuable piece for collectors of antique zoological illustrations, natural history enthusiasts, or those interested in early representations of North American wildlife.

Condition Summary:
The print is in good condition, showing some age-related toning and light foxing primarily around the margins. The lithographic impression remains crisp, with fine detailing intact. The paper edges exhibit minor irregularities from historical binding. There are no major tears or folds, and the overall quality of the artwork is well-preserved, making it a highly collectible piece.

Framing Tips:
To best showcase this lithograph, use an acid-free mat in a neutral color like off-white or cream to complement the aged paper. A dark wooden or black frame will enhance the contrast and draw attention to the intricate details. UV-protective glass is recommended to prevent further fading or discoloration over time. If displayed alongside other lithographs from the same series, consider using matching frames to create a cohesive collection.
