Antique Horse Print of an Arab Mare and Foal

Antique print titled 'Arabische Stute mit Fohlen'. Hand-colored lithograph of an Arabian mare and foal by Karl Joseph Brodtmann (1787-1862), one of the most accomplished lithographers of the early-nineteenth century. Born in the city of Überlingen near the German-Swiss border, Brodtmann worked for much of his career in Zurich and Schaffhausen, Switzerland. He produced numerous hand-colored volumes of images related to natural history which served as instructional resources for bio- and zoologists. Brodtmann's lithographs also became sought-after collectibles for the aristocracy, a fact which attests to both the great beauty as well as the scientific accuracy of his work.

This print originates from 'Naturhistorische Bilder Gallerie aus dem Theirreiche' published circa 1824.
