This print produced on one sheet but often split for selling. The Deerhound study about 5.5"x3.5" is seen more often but occasionally the 4"x4" Lion and tiger studies are seen. The lion head is similar to His Majesty HD30222 (1898) and the tiger head to A Tigress HD30313 (1891) and both contemporaneous with the life of Dicksee's deerhound, Sir Brian
