Dog Sussex Spaniel (Named), 1880s Antique Print & Article About History

Description

You are bidding on a very rare original antique print from an 1880s French illustrated journal.
It depicts a beautiful SUssex Spaniel named Bachelot. Perhaps even more interesting is the article (on a second page, included), which covers the history (that's 1872 through 1885 when this was written!) and a description of the breed standards.
Also included with the print is a second page from the same journal with an 20-inch article. It is in French, but free computer translation programs make it easy to translate.
The caption roughly translates to:  Bachelot, A Spaniel Sussex
It is very large (folio size), measuring approximately 10.5 x 14.5 inches (26.5 x 36.5 cm). The picture area is about
8.5 x 5.5 inches (21.5 x 14 cm), with a French caption below and text above it. The text could easily be trimmed before framing, or hidden under a window mat.
The page is in excellent condition for its age.
There is text/photos on the back of the print.
See scan for an accurate view of the condition.
This is GENUINE antique/vintage item. It is not a modern reproduction.
