Information	Richard Lydekker was a well known naturalist in the latter half of the 19th century with wide ranging knowledge. His superb work on cats and similar carnivores was wonderfully illustrated with charming, colorful prints which look highly attractive when framed.
Date	1894. This is an authentic antique
Source	Lydekker's Cats and Carnivora
Print method	Chromolithograph. Chromolithography was invented in about 1830 and was the first true multi-color printing technique, previously color had to be applied by hand. A printing stone was used for each color so highly colorful prints such as these required a lot of stones and a great deal of care in aligning them. The Victorians loved this method of printing because of the rich coloring that could be achieved.
Condition	Excellent condition. The colors are fresh and bright.
Size	7½” by 4¾” (19 cm by 12 cm)
