Offered here is a superbly detailed, hand-signed limited edition etching titled "Veterinarian" by the late, renowned American satirical artist Charles Bragg (1931–2017). Bragg is celebrated for his witty, intricately illustrated social commentary, and this print is a quintessential example of his genius—filled with whimsical charm, fine detail, and an affectionate satire of the veterinary profession. This original etching features an amusing scene crowded with animals—an elephant gently inspecting the doctor’s eye, birds, rabbits, peacocks, a stethoscope-wearing dog, and shelves stocked with exaggerated veterinary supplies and medical books. The doctor's bewildered expression and the humorous chaos convey Bragg's signature storytelling style with rich crosshatching and fine penwork throughout.<br>This work is hand-signed by Charles Bragg in graphite pencil on the lower right, titled "Veterinarian" in the center, and numbered 97/300 on the lower left, indicating it is part of a limited edition run of only 300 impressions. The print is presented under a double mat in a sleek black wood frame with UV-protective glass. The image measures 10 1/4" x 12 3/4", while the outer frame dimensions are 19 1/4" x 22". The piece appears in excellent condition, with no signs of foxing, tears, or toning visible under the matting or on the image surface.<br>Bragg’s original hand-signed limited edition prints - especially those in his classic medical and occupational satire series - are increasingly sought after by collectors of fine art and humorous illustration alike. This piece is ideal for collectors of 20th-century American printmaking, animal art, or those with ties to the veterinary or medical fields. Its engaging subject matter and top-tier craftsmanship make it a standout conversation piece in any setting. <br> <br>
