Pet Deer, from the Household Pets series (N194) issued by Wm. S. Kimball & Co. 1891

"Pet Deer" is a chromolithograph from the "Household Pets" series, created by Wm. S. Kimball & Co. in 1891. It features a woman in a large, flowery hat, holding a leash to a deer that rests its head on her shoulder. The image's idealized depiction of a domesticated wild animal reflected the late 19th-century fascination with the natural world and desire for exotic pets. The colorful and detailed chromolithograph showcases the skilled printing techniques of the period, making it a charming example of the Victorian era's visual culture.
