19th-Century Lithograph of Wild and Domestic Dogs, Including the Dingo and Spitz

About the Item

19th-Century Lithograph of Wild and Domestic Dogs, Including the Dingo and Spitz This detailed 19th-century lithograph presents a fascinating selection of both wild and domestic dog breeds. Featured are the New Holland Dog (De Nieuw-Hollandische hond), commonly associated with the Australian dingo, the Shepherd Dog (De Herders Hond), the Drive Hound (De Drijfbrak), and the Spitz Dog (De Keeshond). Originally published in *De Zoogdieren: afgebeeld en in hunne levenswijze geschetst*, this illustration captures the diversity of canine forms and their distinct roles in human society and nature. The New Holland Dog refers to the dingo, a wild canine native to Australia that has played a significant role in indigenous culture for thousands of years. The Shepherd Dog, a predecessor of modern herding breeds, was used to guard and guide livestock across Europe. The Drive Hound was bred for its tracking and hunting capabilities, while the Spitz, a compact and intelligent breed, was commonly kept as a companion and watchdog in Northern Europe. Created by C.C. G. Zool. and printed by La Haye & J. L. G. V., this lithograph is an excellent addition for collectors of antique zoological prints, dog breed history enthusiasts, and those interested in early scientific animal studies. Keywords: 19th Century, Lithograph, Natural History, Zoology, Dingo, Shepherd Dog, Drive Hound, Spitz, Keeshond, 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 scattered foxing along the margins. The lithographic details remain crisp, with excellent shading capturing the texture and posture of the dogs. The edges show minor irregularities due to historical binding, but there are no significant tears or folds. The artwork is well-preserved and highly collectible. --- Framing Tips: For an elegant display, use an acid-free mat in a light neutral tone to enhance the fine details. A dark wooden or black frame will contrast beautifully with the print’s delicate shading. UV-protective glass is recommended to preserve the artwork’s integrity over time. If displayed alongside other lithographs from the same series, consider uniform framing for a harmonious and refined presentation.
