Unknown - Ein lebender Hund ohne Vorderfüße

Tierschau. - Greatest natural rarity! Never seen: a living dog without forefeet, without upper thigh bones and without shoulder blades, born in France, this dog is 11 weeks old and in Paris has been viewed with the greatest interest by His Majesty the Emperor and the highest dignitaries; therefore I also think to win the applause of esteemed nature lovers here in Leipzig. Scene at the butcher’s square next to the brown tin booth at the Circus. (Signer:) A. Bührlen. Leipzig, Oskar Leiner (1857). Poster with typographic text. On yellow paper. Sheet size: 63 x 44 cm.
Bührlen was a glass- and landscape painter in Ulm; this seems to represent a professional reorientation. - At the left edge, bottom and top about 1 cm trimmed.
