Description
This is a lot of 2 Lithographs, artist, Sir Edwin Landseer, engraving by  Benjamin P. Gibbon.  (1)  "A Jack In Office", "The Jack in Office, a surly overfed cur, with an air of vulgar importance which is highly characteristic, guards the dog's meat barrow confided to his care.  The barrow is furnished with all the necessaries of trade, painted with wondrous appreciation of their several qualities.  The copper scales seem thin from constant wiping.  On the left a lank, hungry hound stands with watering mouth over a skewer of meat in the master's basket.  An old retriever, seated on his haunches, condescends to beg of the surly Jack; in the background a consequential and well-fed terrier scents the treat, but affects to despise it, while in front a puppy contents himself with feasting on a savoury skewer which has been thrown aside.  This picture was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1833.  It is now in the Sheepshanks Gallery at South Kensington. (Extract from the Catalogue of the Sheepshanks Collection)." (2)  Highland Cottage Scene.  No title or description available on this litho.         Came from an estate antique auction.  Age unknown to me.  In good condition.  Incredible detail!  Overall dimensions:  14 1/2" x 10 1/4".   Shipping weight:  12 oz.  Media Mail
