6 Antique Wildlife Book Plate Prints Rare Attacking
These six fantastically detailed book plate prints include two that are rather unusual for the dramatic scenes depicted. One 4 1/2 x 8 inch sheet print shows a monkey attacking a bull dog with a stick. An unusual 6 x 9 1/2 inch print portrays six different snakes, each identified by name in the lower margin, and two are wildly strangling cows. It is marked J. Stewart Del, and the publisher is Blackie & Son, Glasgow, Edinburg & London. The other prints are 6 1/2 x 9 7/8 inches, and are from a French dictionary of natural history. Portrayed are four different breeds of quadrupeds, each identified by name and order. * These prints show some spotting here and there, normal for their age, along with edge wear and tears. Overall, however, they are in very good condition, with excellent colors and images. * These are terrific for any collector of antique wildlife book plates and prints.
