EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning British greyhound, known scientifically as Canis lupus familiaris (Canis leporarius). The image, captured by the talented artist William Lizars and based on a drawing by James Stewart, is handcoloured to bring out the intricate details of this magnificent creature. The British greyhound in the picture exudes elegance and grace as it stands tall with its sleek body and powerful build. With its keen eyes fixed ahead, it embodies the essence of a hunting dog ready for action. This canine companion has been bred for centuries to pursue hares and rabbits with remarkable speed and agility. The steel engraving technique used by Lizars adds depth to the artwork, highlighting every strand of fur and muscle tone. It is evident that great care was taken in capturing not only the physical attributes but also the spirit of this breed. Displayed alongside other wildlife animals such as wolves, jackals, deerhounds, basset hounds, collie dogs, and even lapdogs in Sir William Jardine's Naturalists Library: Mammalia volume curated by Colonel Charles Hamilton Smith; this print serves as a testament to our fascination with these loyal companions throughout history. Whether admired for their hunting prowess or cherished as beloved pets today, British greyhounds continue to captivate us with their beauty and unwavering loyalty.
