The stag in front was shot by Duke Eberhardt Ludwig of Wurttemberg in the Enniger Mark Uracher Forest in 1710, the one behind at the Sempsen (Stuttgart) Feuerbacher Huth, Leonberg Forest, in 1721. Toned lithograph by Hermann Menzler printed by A. Renaud for L. J. Heymann in Berlin. (1863-65.) Inscribed: Gez. v. J. E. Ridinger, lith. v. H. Menzler etc., otherwise in German as above. 34.7 x 23.2 cm.

(Joh. El. Ridinger’s Hunting Album) III/11. – Comp. Thienemann 263. – From the “(Collection of Rare Stag Antlers Abnormities and Stag Pictures)” carried as 3^rd part. – The whole rare set almost unknown to literature and comprising 80 sheets plus a recently discovered illustrated title of far larger image size (47.5 x 36 cm), though practically to be completed just peu à peu. In the picture effect corresponding to that of the aquatint technique not used by Ridinger anymore. – On strong paper. – Quite light trace of fold in the wide white margin upper right.

After sheet 21 of the set of the “Wondrous Stags”, but especially in regard of the quite independent picture effect as a result of the lithographic technique

a  very  fine  addition  for  any  collection .
