In the fall of 1950, Miss Richmond and her majestic deerhounds stole the show. These domestic dogs, specifically deerhounds, captivated hearts with their close-up headshots featured on Picture No. 11772505's cover. Reminiscent of the Victorian period, these elegant creatures embodied grace and nobility. As we journey back in time to Rouen in 1840, we witness "La Chasse a Rouen" (Hunting at Rouen), where a pair showcased their hunting prowess. Their presence was as enchanting as "La Route de Jouy" (The Road to Jouy) from Nantes circa 1820 - an exquisite furnishing fabric that exuded timeless beauty. These magnificent animals have been immortalized throughout history. From "The Meeting of Jacob and Rebecca" to "Isaac Blessing Jacob, " they played significant roles in The Story of Jacob. Even Jacopo Bassano il vecchio recognized their allure when he created his masterpiece "Diana and Actaeon" in 1585/92. Not only were these regal creatures admired for their elegance but also for their association with Windsor Great Park. An engraving depicting Deerhounds from this iconic location further solidified their status as symbols of grandeur. Whether it be through art or real-life encounters, deerhounds continue to fascinate us with their magnificence and charm, and are truly nature's gift wrapped in grace and strength—a testament to the enduring allure of these remarkable creatures throughout time.
