Currier and Ives sold lithographs of many of his paintings including possibly some of these. Their lithographs were very popular and the market for them huge as nearly every American home had at least one hanging on the wall and many with more than that.

Pet portraits by French painter Jean-Jacques Bachelier (1724-1806). He was director of the porcelain factory at Sèvres, too.

I didn’t use this painting here as it is much like the first one except that the cat is chasing a butterfly, but I got the idea for this post here https://www.instagram.com/ahistoryofcats_/p/DRKW5-Pgatk/

Getting lost heading for the Krammets Berg. Bavaria back in 1853 with some lovely illustrations of the Alps and the chamois the man who wrote this memoir went to Bavaria to hunt. It resides in the stacks of the Boston Public Library where it is no doubt covered with dust.

Brightly colored tropical fish, something that was very exciting back when they were sending ships with artists out to bring back images of the South Seas or whenever the investors wanted them brought back from. From the Journal des Museum Godeffroy, published in Hamburg, Germany by L. Friederichsen & Company. 1909 but it looks like it is a later edition of a work that first came out in 1873, according to the dates with it and the website where I found it originally.

I didn’t find this one by myself, either. I found it here https://schierenberg.nl/category/travel-and-exploration/product/64202 up for sale and then I found a scanned version on the Internet Archive. I think these plates and the book they are part were probably published as a series of articles and lithographs and then were turned into the book these are taken from. This would explain the varying dates.

Animals painted by English painter Edwin Frederick Holt (1830-1912). Victorian but the cows look like that now, too. He painted other subjects but I like these best.
