These are our CFA Edition giclée reproductions of plates from Les Chiens, a late 19th-century French publication devoted to the systematic documentation of dog breeds. Produced during the formative years of modern breed classification, this series reflects the growing emphasis on breed standards, working form, and accurate physical representation.
The original plates were issued as chromolithographs, allowing for rich color, subtle coat patterning, and precise anatomical detail. Dogs are shown in correct stance within open landscapes, emphasizing proportion, musculature, and movement—key concerns of breeders and sportsmen of the period.
Our CFA Edition reproductions are printed on acid-free cotton rag paper using archival pigment inks with a lightfastness rating of up to 200 years, ensuring exceptional longevity and color stability.
