DOG Scottish Deerhound, Sir Edwin Landseer Antique Collotype Print 1870s

Description

This is an exquisite original antique print from the 1870s by Sir Edwin Landseer. It doesn't get prettier than this! It depicts a hunter and his Scottish Deerhound, who have fallen into a cave or onto a ledge during the hunt. The man hollers for help, which has arrived in the form of a rope.
It is an antique collotype (heliotype) print, which was a high quality printing technique that yielded both great detail and fine tones, and was generally reserved for high end art reproduction of the era.
The print is high quality; and the original paper is thick. The heliotype image is surrounded by a yellow/cream colored border with a white caption. This could be trimmed or covered in a frame if desired. It has its original tissue overlay.
PLEASE NOTE: There are stains in the white margin area of this print. It could be trimmed before framing, without affecting the picture area.
The page is approximately 10.5 x 13.5 inches, with the image area being approx. 6.5 x 8 inches.
This is GENUINE antique/vintage item. It is not a modern reproduction.
