More on Engravings..

I first became enamored of animal engravings because it was a way to chart how our animals have changed over the centuries. Dog breeders and enthusiasts can especially benefit from studying antique art.

An engraving like this one of sporting spaniels could for example, shed light on the origin of certain breed characteristics...
You may not know this,but...antique engravings are valuable and a good investment!

Some people mistakenly consider them as prints but they are not! Engravings are ARTIST ORIGINALS.

Granted, they are what the art world calls multiple originals but ORIGINALS nonetheless and should be treated as such.

Always use an acid free mat when framing these engravings as the old paper stock will disintergrate if you don't.
