Information

These scans are of antique prints of dogs from the famous "The Book of The Dog", published by Cassell. The color printing was of an exceptionally high standard and, most importantly, the illustrations are some of the finest portrayals of dogs ever produced. It contained the first color illustrations of the Bedlington Terrier, Dandie Dinmont Terrier, Irish Terrier, Yorkshire Terrier, Fox Terrier, Pug, Italian Greyhound, Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Irish Water Spaniel, Dachshund, Basset Hounds and Retriever.
Buying a full set of these original prints (or the book itself) is very expensive these days. A set in immaculate condition, such as the one we made the scans from, would cost about US $2500 and would be difficult to find.

Date

Published in London in 1881

Print method

The color prints are chromolithographs (i.e. different stone blocks were used to print each color).

Condition

The prints the scans were made from were in excellent condition

Size

Each print scanned measured approximately 10.5" by 8" (27 cm by 20 cm)
