T. Lloyd Price’s Pointer Wagg, originates from Cassell’s celebrated Book of the Dog, one of the era’s most iconic publications dedicated to canine breeds. As knowledge expanded and publishing flourished in Victorian England, Cassell sought to bring fine art into the home by combining beloved subjects with richly decorative techniques.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChromolithography, introduced in the mid-19th century, allowed printers to layer color with remarkable precision, creating depth and vibrancy that echoed the richness of oil paintings. Each hue required a separate stone, and the finished image depended on the exceptional skill of the lithographer. Works like this became immensely popular among Victorian households and remain highly sought-after by collectors today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePresented in an elegant frame, this distinguished depiction of a pointer embodies the grace and poise of the sporting dog and brings an authentic touch of 19th-century heritage and refinement to any well-curated interior.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Martingale East","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47362585002228,"sku":null,"price":165.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/6782\/9748\/files\/cc188ecb-il_fullxfull.7259519658_jaga.jpg?v=1767290455","url":"https:\/\/martingaleeast.com\/products\/c-1890-original-antique-chromolithograph-from-cassells-illustrated-book-of-the-dog-english-pointer-wagg","provider":"Martingale East","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
