Munito, Étonnant Ses Spectateurs [Munito, Amazing the Spectators]. Paris, 1817. Artistically hand-colored etching of the “Isaac Newton of his race,” the learned dog Munito, a manicured poodle who could perform all manner of human-like feats. Here he reveals a card chosen by an audience member; in the background, letter cards show that the canine savant has spelled out the name of a word chosen by one of the spectators, “fidelite.” 12 ¾ x 15 ¾”. Image slightly foxed; very good. See Exemplars, p. 260.
