Rare 19th-Century Lithograph of Kinkajou, Coati, and European Badger

About the Item

Rare 19th-Century Lithograph of Kinkajou, Coati, and European Badger This beautifully detailed 19th-century lithograph showcases three distinct mammal species: the kinkajou (De redstaart - Kinkayoe of Poto), the coati (De eenzame coatie - het neusdier), and the European badger (De Europeesche das). Originally published in De Zoogdieren: afgebeeld en in hunne levenswijze geschetst, this illustration exemplifies the high level of craftsmanship and scientific accuracy in early zoological studies. The kinkajou, native to Central and South America, is a nocturnal tree-dwelling mammal known for its prehensile tail and playful nature. The coati, also found in Central and South America, is a relative of the raccoon, recognized for its elongated snout and social behavior. The European badger inhabits forests and grasslands across Europe and parts of Asia, known for its burrowing lifestyle and strong family groups. This lithograph was created by C.C. G. Zool. and printed by La Haye & J. L. G. V., reflecting the growing 19th-century interest in cataloging and illustrating wildlife for educational and scientific purposes. It remains a valuable artifact for collectors of antique zoological illustrations and natural history prints. Keywords: 19th Century, Lithograph, Natural History, Zoology, Kinkajou, Coati, European Badger, Scientific Illustration, Antique Print, Animal Engraving, Wildlife Art, Taxonomy, Netherlands, La Haye, J.L.G.V. Condition: The print is in good condition, with some minor age-related toning and light foxing, primarily along the margins. The lithographic impression remains sharp, with fine details and shading still intact. Some slight irregularities along the edges are visible due to past binding, but there are no significant tears or folds. The paper has aged naturally, giving it an authentic antique character. --- Framing Tips: For an elegant presentation, use an acid-free mat in a light neutral tone to enhance the lithograph’s fine details. A dark wooden or black frame will provide a striking contrast, drawing attention to the animals. UV-protective glass is recommended to preserve the print’s clarity and prevent further discoloration. If displaying alongside similar lithographs, consider using matching frames for a unified and cohesive look.

Located in Langweer, NL
Exquisite 19th-Century Lithograph of Exotic Marsupials: Koala, Wombat & Phalanger Description: This finely detailed 19th-century lithograph showcases a collection of marsupial species, including a flying phalanger, a grey koala, and a wombat. The engraving is part of an extensive zoological series that aimed to document and illustrate rare and exotic mammals from around the world.
