EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print, we are transported back to the year 1825, witnessing a moment of triumph in the world of rat catching. The star of the scene is none other than Bob, a beloved terrier owned by Mr W E Gorling. Standing tall and proud, Bob gazes down at his conquest - a lifeless rat lying at his feet. Engraved by Thomas Landseer after an original painting by his brother Edwin Landseer, this print captures the essence of victory in hunting coursing. The attention to detail is remarkable as every stroke brings out the texture of Bob's fur and the intricate features on his face. The landscape format adds depth to the image, allowing us to appreciate both Bob's triumphant stance and the significance of his accomplishment. As we admire this historical piece, it becomes evident that dogs have long been cherished companions and skilled hunters for humans throughout history. This artwork reminds us not only of our connection with animals but also highlights their unique abilities. It serves as a testament to our fascination with domestic animals like dogs who possess an innate instinct for tracking down prey. Displayed proudly in any home or gallery setting, this print from Hulton Archive offers a glimpse into an era where man's best friend played an essential role in pest control while simultaneously serving as loyal companions.
