EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Sketches from the Dog Show at the Crystal Palace" takes us back to a bygone era of elegance and canine admiration. Created by Louis Wain in 1890, this print captures the essence of a dog show held at London's iconic Crystal Palace. The image showcases an array of dogs, each with their unique charm and character. From the bumptious biddy to the regal bloodhound, Wain's sketches bring these beloved animals to life on paper. The artist skillfully portrays various breeds such as sheepdogs, setters, terriers, and even a majestic wolfhound. Amidst the crowd of spectators are notable figures like Mr. W Foster and Mr. M H Hills, who seem engrossed in observing these magnificent creatures. The atmosphere is filled with excitement as tantrums erupt from some mischievous canines while others display their impeccable training. Woven into this visual narrative are glimpses of daily life - a buxom maiden serving refreshments as a dairy maid would and people engaged in lively conversations about these four-legged beauties. Louis Wain's lithograph not only celebrates dogs but also provides insight into Victorian society's fascination with dog shows. It serves as both an artistic representation and historical documentation of this popular event that brought together enthusiasts from all walks of life. This particular print is part of a private collection now housed within Look and Learn / Illustrated Papers Collection, preserving its beauty for generations to come thanks to Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform.
