Hello,

Your item is an original lithograph titled “Holstein-Friesian Cattle of the Violet Family,” based on a sketch by C. Palmer and published by Sanders Publishing Co., Chicago. The artwork was created in relation to James Harvey Sanders’ (1832-1899) works on livestock breeding, particularly emphasizing hereditary principles. Sanders was a prominent figure in the documentation of American livestock and played a critical role in the development of registered cattle breeding. This lithograph likely comes from one of his seminal works on cattle breeds, a valuable historical reference for agricultural and livestock history.

The lithograph measures 25” x 21” and is in relatively good condition with some signs of aging. Given the importance of Sanders’ publications and the detailed work of Palmer, this lithograph holds value among collectors of agricultural and livestock history, as well as those interested in 19th-century American prints.
