Bharal (Blue Sheep), Antique Himalayan Wildlife Chromolithograph
DESCRIPTION

From The Royal Natural History (London, 1894), the plate reflects Victorian interest in remote and little-known regions. The original artwork is attributed to P. J. Smit.
Its cool mountain tones and expansive background make it ideal for collectors drawn to alpine or Asian themes.
