EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "The Lecturer; or, the Dogs Appeal" by English School in the 19th century is a thought-provoking piece that combines elements of anthropomorphism and satire. The image depicts a dog standing upright on its hind legs, holding a walking stick or cane, and addressing an unseen audience with great fervor. The lecturer's expressive face and animated gestures suggest his passionate appeal for something unknown. Perhaps he represents an advocate for justice or equality, using his platform to speak up for those who cannot do so themselves. The anthropomorphic portrayal of this canine figure adds a touch of whimsy to the scene while also inviting viewers to reflect upon their own capacity for empathy. The intricate details in this print showcase the skillful craftsmanship of the artist. Every line and stroke contributes to creating depth and texture within the composition. The use of shading further enhances the three-dimensional quality of both the lecturer and his surroundings. "The Lecturer; or, the Dogs Appeal" is not just a visual delight but also serves as a reminder that art has always been used as a medium for social commentary throughout history. This particular engraving was originally published as an illustration in Chatterbox magazine in 1889. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we can now appreciate this remarkable artwork from our very own private collection without any commercial implications attached.
