19th-century traditional lithograph features a masterful pen-and-ink composition with hand-coloring on toned paper, capturing the expressive, wrinkled faces of three Bulldogs. From the renowned animal artist Cecil Aldin, the work exudes a delightful sense of personality and period charm. The piece is housed in a robust, natural wood frame, which features the title Three Guardsmen carved directly into the lower molding. The framed composition measures approximately 17 in. H x 29 3/8 in. W x 3/4 in. D, with expected age-related paper toning and a warm, authentic patina to the wooden frame consistent with its 19th-century origins.
