Dog Beagles & Harrier Hounds Hunt Rabbit, Rare 1870s Antique Engraving Print

Description

You are bidding on a large, very rare original antique print from an 1870s French illustrated journal.
It depicts a pack of beagles and a pack of Harrier hounds closing in on a rabbit, which has just gone to ground. In the background, you can see mounted riders. It is a fascinating look at how the breeds looked, and were worked, almost 150 years ago.
It is very large (folio size), measuring approximately 10.5 x 14.5 inches (26.5 x 36.5 cm). The picture measures about 7 x 4.25 inches, with a French caption below. There is unrelated text surrounding it that could be trimmed for framing.
The caption reads:  Chiens courant: Les harriers -- les beagles.
This roughly translates to:  Hounds -- the harriers -- the beagles.
The page is in excellent condition for its age.
There is text/photos on the back of the print.
See scan for an accurate view of the condition.
This is GENUINE antique/vintage item. It is not a modern reproduction.
