Vero Shaw. “Irish Water Spaniel. ‘Captain’ The Property of Mr. Hugh Beaver.” From Cassell’s The Illustrated Book of the Dog.
London: Cassell, Petter, Galpin, ca. 1881. Octavo. 6 ½ x 8 5/8 (image). Chromolithograph by Vincent Brooks Day & Son. Light spots in margin. Else, very good condition.
A print from a delightful series of portraits of dogs. The last part of the nineteenth century was the time when wonderful chromolithographs were being produced in England and in the United States, and these prints are excellent examples of the process. The attractive subjects and bright colors make for a series of truly charming prints.
Others from Cassell's series of dogs:
Bedlington Terrier; Dandie Dinmont Terrier
