Lot Essay

Initially titled Petit Chien basset debout (1857-8 catalogue), and later known as Basset debout petite réduction, the present model was listed as Basset anglais No2 at the 1876 Atelier sale, where it was sold together with the larger version of the work, Basset anglais No1. Lifetime épreuves of both models are rare and, posthumously, each was edited by Barbedienne.
