EDITORS COMMENTS
This sepia-toned print captures the majestic Statue of Maida, believed to be Sir Walter Scott's beloved canine companion. Crafted by the talented William Henry Fox Talbot, this image showcases a remarkable effigy of Maida, a deerhound known to hold a special place in Scott's heart. Named after the Battle of Maida, which marked an important British victory during the Napoleonic Wars, Maida was gifted to Scott by Glengarry, a close friend. The inscription on this celebrated sculpture pays homage to their bond and commemorates the loyalty and companionship shared between man and dog. With its tail held high and proud, this stone memorial stands as a testament to the deep connection between humans and animals. The sculpted canis lupus familiaris exudes an air of reverence as it gazes into eternity. As we admire this photograph, we are reminded of the enduring love that exists within our relationships with our pets. Mans' best friend is not merely an animal but rather an integral part of our lives - offering unwavering support and unconditional love. In capturing this momentous statue through his lens, Talbot has immortalized both Sir Walter Scott's favorite dog and their unbreakable bond for generations to come. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder that even in stillness, true companionship transcends time itself.
