EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph from the late 19th century showcases the elegance of an Italian Greyhound, also known as an Italian Levrier. The print is part of a series titled "Picture Alphabet of Horses and Dogs" published in 1887 by Thomas Nelson and Sons in the United Kingdom. The image captures the delicate features and graceful stance of this beloved pet for ladies during that era. With its slender body, long legs, and regal posture, the Italian Greyhound exudes a sense of refinement and sophistication. Its presence was often associated with high society women who appreciated its beauty as both a companion and a status symbol. In this particular scene, we see the greyhound accompanied by a maid or housemaid who appears to be cleaning or attending to her duties. This juxtaposition between domesticity and elegance adds depth to the composition, suggesting that even within household chores, beauty can still be found. The engraving itself is intricately detailed, showcasing every strand of fur on the dog's coat with precision. The monochromatic color palette enhances its timeless appeal while allowing us to focus on the subject's form. This vintage print serves not only as a visual delight but also as an educational artifact reflecting societal norms surrounding pets, class distinctions, and aesthetics during that period in history.
