Dog Bloodhounds at Zoo in Paris, St. Hubert Hounds, Large 1870s Antique Print

Description

You are bidding on a large, very rare original antique print from an 1870s French illustrated journal.
It depicts 9 bloodhound dogs in a kennel at the Jardin d'Acclimatation in the Bois de Boulogne recreational area in Paris France. I believe they were part of the menagerie of animals (zoo) there. They are identified as the dogs of M. le Compte Lecoulteux.
It is very large (folio size), measuring approximately 10.5 x 14.5 inches (26.5 x 36.5 cm). The picture measures 7 x 9.5 inches, with a French caption below. It is surrounded by unrelated French text that could be trimmed for framing.
The caption (in french) identifies the dogs as the pack (meute) of the Count, and their location at the Jardin d'Acclimatation
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 print will come with a Certificate of Authenticity.
