Walter Spiers

These rare, original antique engravings were published in 1843 in London in the first and only edition of "Sports, British and Foreign" by Walter Spiers. They illustrated the pursuit of sportsmen in every corner of the globe. These highly detailed engravings were made by some of the best artists and engravers of the period such as Landseer. Anyone interested in dogs will likely find the engravings of dogs fascinating, as they are some of the earliest images of specific breeds of dogs (most of today's dog breeds were developed via cross breeding within the last 150 years).
