About the Item

19th-Century Lithograph of the Jaguar, Also Known as the American Tiger This striking 19th-century lithograph presents the jaguar (De Jaguar of Amerikaansche Tijger), one of the most powerful big cats of the Americas. Originally published in 'De Zoogdieren: afgebeeld en in hunne levenswijze geschetst', this illustration captures the jaguar’s distinctive rosette-patterned coat, muscular build, and intense gaze with remarkable scientific precision. The jaguar (Panthera onca) is the largest cat in the Americas and the third-largest in the world after the tiger and lion. It inhabits dense rainforests, wetlands, and savannas across South and Central America, with the highest population found in the Amazon basin. Unlike other big cats, jaguars are known for their exceptional bite strength, capable of piercing through the shells of turtles and caimans. Their solitary and elusive nature makes them one of the most enigmatic predators in the wild. During the 19th century, European naturalists often referred to jaguars as the "American tiger" due to their size and strength. Created by C.C. G. Zool. and printed by La Haye & J. L. G. V., this lithograph is an invaluable addition for collectors of antique zoological prints, wildlife art enthusiasts, and those fascinated by early artistic depictions of exotic animals. Keywords: 19th Century, Lithograph, Natural History, Zoology, Jaguar, American Tiger, Panthera Onca, Big Cats, Wildlife Art, Scientific Illustration, Antique Print, Animal Engraving, Taxonomy, Netherlands, La Haye, J.L.G.V. --- Condition: The print is in good condition, with minor age-related toning and some light foxing, mainly along the margins. The lithographic details remain sharp, especially in the jaguar’s distinctive rosette patterns and strong physique. The edges have slight irregularities due to past binding, but no major tears or folds are present. The artwork is well-preserved and remains highly collectible. --- Framing Tips: For an elegant display, use an acid-free mat in a neutral tone such as off-white or beige to complement the natural aging of the print. A dark wooden or black frame will create a bold contrast, emphasizing the jaguar’s powerful presence. UV-protective glass is recommended to prevent fading over time. If displayed alongside other wildlife lithographs, matching frames will create a cohesive and refined collection.

19th-Century Lithograph of the Puma and Cheetah in Graceful Stances

Located in Langweer, NL

19th-Century Lithograph of the Puma and Cheetah in Graceful Stances This exquisite 19th-century lithograph showcases two remarkable big cats: the cougar, or puma (De Couguar of puma), and the cheetah, referred to as the "tiger wolf" (De Tijgerwolf of Gepard). Originally published in *De Zoogdieren: afgebeeld en in hunne levenswijze geschetst*, this illustration captures the physical differences between these two agile predators with remarkable accuracy. The puma (Puma concolor), also known as the mountain lion, is native to the Americas, ranging from Canada to Patagonia. Unlike other big cats, pumas lack the ability to roar, making them more closely related to smaller feline species. They are solitary hunters known for their stealth and adaptability to various terrains, from dense forests to arid deserts. The cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus...
