EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured steel engraving showcases the Hungarian Kuvasz sheepdog, a breed known for its distinctive shaggy coat and ancient lineage. The Hungarian Kuvasz, scientifically classified as Canis lupus familiaris, with the subspecies designation Canis familiaris pannonicus var. hirsutus, is a native breed of Hungary, where it has been guarding livestock for over a thousand years. The engraving, created by A. Scipp from an illustration by C. Klette, is part of the Naturhistorischer Bildersaal des Thierreiches, or Natural History Picture Gallery, in Leipzig, Germany, which was established by Georg Friedrich Treitschke in 1842. The gallery was renowned for its high-quality, handcoloured engravings of various animal species, showcasing the intricate details of their physical attributes. The Hungarian Kuvasz is depicted in this engraving with its characteristic thick, shaggy double coat, which not only provides insulation against harsh weather conditions but also serves as an effective deterrent against predators. The breed's alert and watchful expression, along with its powerful build, underscores its role as a protector of livestock. The Hungarian Kuvasz is a rare and valuable breed, both historically and culturally. This engraving is a testament to the breed's rich heritage and the meticulous attention to detail that characterized the work of the Naturhistorischer Bildersaal des Thierreiches. It remains an essential record of the breed's appearance and an enduring work of art.
