Comp. Thienemann 143 + Ridinger Catalog Kielce, 1997, 53 with ills. – Quite essentially enlarged representation in reverse of the “Noble Stag” as sheet 5 (28 x 25 cm) of the set of The Fair Game hounded by the Different Kinds of Hounds of 1761, and thanks to the omitted arc above also appearing far more stretched. – The slight fox stipping at the back just as small traces of creases from the front almost perceptible in the white margin only. Its outermost right top corner torn off. – Here neither for lithographer/publisher nor otherwise provable
extraordinarily rare large decorative sheet of fine colors ,
together proof of the esteem Ridinger received through the centuries and both proving the need for his motifs as enriching the work.
