EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning greyhound design, titled "Drawing 26 Vol 2" by Alfred Waterhouse, is an exquisite illustration of a noble and graceful canine breed that once adorned the interior of the Natural History Museum in London, built in 1876. The intricately detailed drawing, created from two separate negatives, showcases the elegance and power of the greyhound, a sight hound and a member of the Canidae family, which is part of the larger order of Carnivora. Alfred Waterhouse (1830-1905) was a renowned English architect and designer, best known for his work on the Natural History Museum and the Victoria and Albert Museum. His design for the Natural History Museum's interior included various ornamental features, including this beautiful greyhound drawing. The greyhound, scientifically known as Canis lupus familiaris, is a domestic dog and a placental mammal, belonging to the Canini tribe and the Caniformia suborder. This breed is characterized by its long, slender body and powerful legs, making it an excellent hunting dog. The greyhound's sleek coat, pointed ears, and expressive eyes add to its distinctive appearance. This drawing is a testament to Waterhouse's artistic skill and his appreciation for the natural world. The greyhound's posture and demeanor convey a sense of alertness and readiness, making it a captivating addition to any interior space. The intricate details in the drawing, from the texture of the fur to the delicate folds of the ears, make it a work of art that is sure to inspire awe and admiration. Overall, this greyhound design by Alfred Waterhouse is a beautiful representation of a beloved and iconic breed, and a reminder of the rich history and natural beauty that can be found in the Natural History Museum's collections.
