Antique Kellogg Hand Colored Lithograph Boy and Dog - The Tired Soldier

Antique charming and folky hand colored litho by Kellogg and Comstock of New York and Hartford, CT, rivals of Currier and Ives. It depicts a little sleeping boy dressed in a soldiers uniform complete with a small sword being watched over by his large faithful guardian dog. The dog looks like a Newfoundland or St. Bernard dog. They are in a landscape setting. It is titled below the image : "THE TIRED SOLDIER" and numbered "149". Below the image in fine print on the left is printed: "Kellogg & Comstock 150 Fulton St New York & 136 Main St. Hartford Conn." Below the image in fine print on the right is printed: "Ensign & Thayer 12 Exchange St. Buffalo". It is in an antique stepped deep wooden frame with glass. I think the wood is walnut but am not sure. C.1850. Free shipping within the USA includes insurance, tracking and signature required delivery confirmation.
