Description: Rare original antique print from an 1890s illustrated journal. It depicts views of some of the 17,000 dogs taken in by the Temporary Home for Lost & Starving Dogs in 1896. Between the pictures is a sad article on the "rabies Panic" in London that gives stats on the number of dogs in the home. It also mentions how the "lethal chamber and crematorium are running day and night" even though only one was found to have rabies. To their credit, their goal was to find homes for as many dogs as they could in a difficult time. The Temporary Home for Lost & Starving Dogs is now called the Battersea Dogs & Cats Home. It was established in Holloway, London in 1860 by Mary Tealby (1801–1865). The home moved to Battersea in 1871.The print is very large (folio size), measuring approximately 10 x 14.25 inches (25.5 x 36 cm). The pictures fill most of the page with the article measuring about 6 inches. The page is in excellent condition for its age. There is text/photos on the back of the print. See scan for an accurate view of the condition. This print will come with a Certificate of Authenticity. Powered by SixBit's eCommerce Solution
