Johann Elias Ridinger, Stag of 32 Points near Käfertal/Mannheim

Ridinger, Johann Elias (Ulm 1698 – Augsburg 1767). This Stag of 32 Points, whose weights had 3½ feet in the height, has been shot by the elector (Count Palatine) Franz Louis of Trier near Käffenthal (Mannheim-Käfertal) in the year 1721. To the front right jumping over a transversal trunk. 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. 13½ × 9 in (34.4 × 22.8 cm).

(Joh. El. Ridinger’s Hunting Album) III/22. – Cf. sheet 73 of the Most Wondrous Deer, Thienemann 315: “He virtually flies over a transversal trunk and shows his majestic antlers”. – From the “(Collection of Rare Deer Antlers Abnormities and Deer Pictures)” carried as 3rd part. – The whole rare set almost unknown to literature and comprising 80 sheet plus a recently discovered illustrated title of far larger image size (13¾ × 14⅛ in [47.5 × 36 cm]), though practically to be completed just peu à peu. In the pictorial effect corresponding to that of the aquatint technique not used by Ridinger anymore. – On buff wide-margined paper of impeccable freshness. – The marvelously dynamic sujet as

an especially charming enrichment for the collection .
