Dog Border Collie, Boy Training the Dog, Huge Double-Folio 1870s Antique Print

Description

You are bidding on a huge original antique print from an 1870s illustrated journal.
It depicts a pauper boy telling his Border Collie to wait, before he gives it his plate to like. Caged birds are in the background of his hovel like home. Just gorgeous.
It is very large (double elephant folio size), measuring approximately 21 x 16 inches (53 x 40.5 cm). The picture fills most of the page, with a caption below.
The caption reads: Bide a Wee! by W. Fyfe.
The print has a fold in the middle, where it was folded into the magazine long ago. Note that the fold line is clean and undamaged, because it was "tipped" into the binding. This was a luxury binding technique of that era, because the double page prints were free of binding holes down the center.
The back of the print is blank. This means it was likely a “special supplement” to the journal, making it especially rare.
The page is in excellent condition for its age. See scan for an accurate view of the condition.
This is GENUINE antique/vintage item. It is not a modern reproduction.
