Majestic Bears of the 19th Century – Exquisite Antique Natural History Prints

About the Item

19th-Century Lithographs of Bears by C.C. G. Zool., Printed by La Haye & J. L. G. V. This set consists of two 19th-century lithographs depicting various bear species, originally published in 'De Zoogdieren: afgebeeld en in hunne levenswijze geschetst', a zoological work illustrated by C.C. G. Zool. and printed by La Haye & J. L. G. V. in the Netherlands. The plates feature detailed, finely shaded depictions of bears, including the Siberian bear, the European brown bear, the Tibetan bear, and the American black bear. These natural history prints exemplify the meticulous scientific illustration style of the time, blending artistic quality with zoological accuracy. The lithographs capture the texture and posture of each bear with impressive realism, reflecting the growing interest in scientific documentation during the 19th century. The shading and proportions highlight the distinctive characteristics of each species, making this set an excellent representation of early zoological studies. This is a valuable addition to any collection of antique natural history prints, animal engravings, or 19th-century scientific illustrations. The fine detailing and historical significance make it a compelling set for collectors, interior designers, or museum enthusiasts interested in historical depictions of wildlife. Keywords: Lithograph, 19th Century, Zoology, Natural History, Bears, Scientific Illustration, Antique Print, Animal Engraving, Wildlife, Taxonomy, Netherlands, La Haye, J.L.G.V. The prints are in good condition, with some expected signs of age-related toning and slight foxing visible on the margins. The paper is well-preserved, and the lithographic impressions remain sharp, retaining their original clarity and detail. No major tears or folds are present, and the overall integrity of the images is intact. The edges have been cleaned for presentation, ensuring a crisp display. Framing Tips: To enhance and preserve these lithographs, use acid-free mounting and UV-protective glass to prevent further aging and discoloration. A simple black or dark wood frame will highlight the intricate shading of the bears while keeping the presentation elegant. Consider a double mat—white or cream with a subtle contrast—to create depth. Positioning both prints side by side in a single large frame with a divider or using matching individual frames will complement the symmetry of the set, making it an excellent decorative piece for a study, library, or nature-inspired interior.
