A beautiful early 20th century etching of a distinguished Boston Terrier named "Jim Dandy" by the printmaker Lisa Balsie. The print is framed in a simple black period frame. The print has been backed with acid free board and is surrounded by a simple cream colored mat that was included with the period frame. The first two photos are taken with the etching framed. The remaining photos of the etching were taken when it was unframed. 12.5"H x 10.5"W x .5"D framed size 6"H x 4.5"W plate size Elizabeth "Lisa" Balsie was a New York artist active in the early 1900s best known for her etched portraits of dogs.
