Why Vintage Prints Are A Great Gift For The Dog Lover In Your Life
We’re sure you have a friend or family member (or perhaps more than one) who is mad about dogs. If they are often tricky to buy for, we might just have the perfect answer for you… vintage framed prints.
To be more specific, a print from our range of mid-century dog lithographs. These are original vintage prints that come in an antique gold effect bobbin frame with a colour mount and the best part is that we have lithographs of 24 different dog breeds.
Personally, we’re big fans of the basset hound lithograph (we couldn’t say anything else without upsetting Moira though!). But we also have prints of breeds as varied as bedlington terriers, golden retrievers, pomeranians, old English sheepdogs and whippets.
What makes a vintage dog print a memorable gift?
If you know the person you’re buying for loves their dog, this is a very thoughtful gift. It’s a way of acknowledging their bond with their pooch.
Given that research recently found that dog owners are more satisfied with their relationship with their canine companions than with any humans in their lives except their children, a gift that includes their dog will likely go down well!
You can also request a specific colour for the mount if you know that a particular shade will fit in well with your recipient’s home decor. Perhaps you can even envisage where they could hang the print in their home.
A mid-century lithograph of a specific dog breed also acknowledges how long dogs have been part of human lives. In fact, evidence suggests dogs have been domesticated for between 12,500 and 15,000 years.
Prints from the 1950s (and before that too) indicate that people have long had a soft spot for their canine companions and wanted to immortalise their presence in our lives.
