elegant victorian chromolithographs (color lithographs) taken from the illustrated book of the dog by vero shaw (cassell & co., 1879-1881), an encyclopedic work considered a milestone in nineteenth-century dog breeding, partly anticipating the current classification of breeds.

the plates depict dogs with great anatomical precision, often in natural or "show" poses, and are considered among the most beautiful in the history of canine illustration, much loved by collectors.

skye terriers – a pair of dogs with noble profiles and distinctive features, immortalized in a static but expressive pose.

irish water spaniel "captain" – a male specimen with a curly, shiny coat, depicted with a proud gaze and elegant posture.

illustrated by r. S. Moseley and printed in color using the chromolithography technique at vincent brooks, day & son, these plates combine scientific precision and artistic charm. Every detail – from the coat to the posture – is rendered with meticulous care, in perfect victorian style.

in gold-edged wooden frames, ready to hang.

ideal for classic but also eclectic settings, a must-have for dog lovers!

period: circa 1880
