1888 Breeds Classic Colouring Gordon Setter Shaw
EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this beautiful image of a Gordon Setter in its natural habitat, captured in 1888. The Gordon Setter, named after the 4th Duke of Gordon, is a breed of gundog known for its distinctive black and tan coloring, which is showcased perfectly in this photograph. The breed's origins can be traced back to Scotland in the 17th century, where they were used for hunting game birds such as grouse and pheasants. In this photograph, Shaw, the Gordon Setter, is seen in the field, his keen eyes scanning the area for any signs of game. His sleek coat, which was once considered essential for protection against the harsh Scottish weather, shines in the sunlight. The classic black and tan coloring of the breed is a result of selective breeding over centuries, and it continues to be a defining feature of the Gordon Setter today. The historical significance of this image lies not only in the representation of a beloved breed but also in the window it provides into the past. The photograph offers a glimpse into the world of hunting and the role that dogs played in the lives of the nobility during the late 19th century. It is a reminder of the deep connection between humans and animals, and the enduring bond between man and his faithful companion. This photograph is a must-have for any dog lover, historian, or anyone with an appreciation for the beauty and history of the Gordon Setter breed. It is a testament to the timeless appeal of these magnificent animals and the important role they have played in our history.
