EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph depicts a majestic Boar Hound of Germany, Canis lupus familiaris (Canis familiaris suillus), from the Naturhistorischer Bildersaal des Thierreiches, or Natural History Picture Gallery, of Georg Friedrich Treitschke in Leipzig, published in 1842. Boar Hounds are a breed of large, powerful hunting dogs that originated in Germany and were bred specifically for the pursuit and capture of wild boar. The Boar Hound in this image is shown with its muscular body, strong jaws, and piercing eyes, all features that make it an excellent hunter. Its short, smooth coat is a mix of various shades of red and white, with black markings around its eyes, ears, and muzzle. The breed's long, pendulous ears are folded back, indicating its alert and focused demeanor. The intricate details of the Boar Hound's anatomy are beautifully rendered in this lithograph, with each muscle and vein delicately outlined and filled in with color. The background features a wooded landscape, with trees and foliage adding to the sense of depth and realism. Georg Friedrich Treitschke was a renowned German naturalist and publisher, who established the Naturhistorischer Bildersaal des Thierreiches to showcase his extensive collection of natural history prints. This Boar Hound lithograph is just one example of the high-quality and detailed works produced by his gallery. Today, the Boar Hound remains a popular breed among hunters and dog enthusiasts, known for its strength, agility, and tenacity. This stunning lithograph is a testament to the breed's rich history and enduring appeal.
