Seller's Description
Original 1894 7 5/8 inch x 5 1/4 inch engraving titled THE GRIZZLY BEAR.
The grizzly bear is a large subspecies of brown bear inhabiting North America. Grizzlies are typically brown, though their fur can appear to be white-tipped, or grizzled, lending them their traditional name.
Engraved by Friedrich Specht (1839 - 1919). A German painter and natural history illustrator. He held his first exhibition at the Stuttgart Art Academy. He provided illustrations of animals and landscapes for a large number of zoology and veterinary science publications, notably for the first edition of Brehms Tierleben (1864–69) conceived by Alfred Edmund Brehm, Brockhaus and Efron Encyclopedic Dictionary (1890—1907) and Richard Lydekker's Royal Natural History (1894–96).
This illustration is taken from ‘The Royal Natural History’ edited by Richard Lydekker and published by Frederick Warne & Co. London and New York, 1894.
The page size is 10 inch x 6 5/8 inch
The engraving is in very good condition. Reverse side blank.
