The Dog, c1850
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating lithograph print that showcases the diverse roles and remarkable abilities of dogs in 19th-century Britain. Created by Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins and published by Thomas Varty, this artwork beautifully captures the essence of man's best friend. At its center, we see a majestic collie sheepdog, representing the typical working dog that aided shepherds in their daily tasks. Surrounding it are vignettes depicting various scenes highlighting the invaluable companionship and assistance provided by dogs across different contexts. From a Newfoundland dog rescuing a child from treacherous river currents to a St Bernard heroically saving a traveler trapped under an avalanche, these images showcase the bravery and loyalty of these four-legged heroes. The blind man with his guide dog symbolizes the crucial role played by canines in assisting individuals with disabilities. Additionally, we witness husky dogs pulling Inuits on sledges through snowy landscapes, emphasizing their vital role in transportation within Arctic regions. The print also sheds light on other practical uses of dogs such as making boots from their skins or guarding properties against intruders. With vibrant colors and intricate details, "The Dog" offers viewers an insight into Victorian society's reliance on these intelligent creatures for rescue missions, agricultural work, travel assistance, and more. This lithograph serves as both an artistic masterpiece and historical documentation of our enduring bond with dogs throughout centuries.
