Native Entertainment Cocks Fighting Public Spectacle 1863 antique engraved print

Hahnengesecht

(Cock Fighting in Australia, Natives Holding Back Fighters, Lush Vegetation, Animal Cruelty)

Issued 1863, Paris

Lovely original antique engraved print.

Printed in the mid 19th century, on paper which is gently age toned as always, but which remains sound, mostly clean & well preserved.

A beautiful image which is not often seen, and is entirely worthy of display.

In Good+ or better condition; normal uniform minor age toning to sheet as typical, and has small minor age staining or spotting, which should be clearly visible in the scan. Overall the printed image is clean, well preserved and very attractive.

A picture is worth a thousand words. The zoomable image is a major part of the item description. Please examine closely, as what you see is what we will send you. [note: we grade very conservatively and always seek to disclose any noteworthy flaws ].

A little-known and fascinating antique printed image which any collector, dealer, institution or person of artistic taste would be happy to own and display.
