EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph by Karl Joseph Brodtmann, published in Heinrich Rudolf Schinz's Illustrated Natural History of Men and Animals in 1836, showcases two noble and historic breeds of canine companions - the Newfoundland dog (Canis lupus familiaris 1) and the St. Bernard dog (Canis lupus familiaris 2). The Newfoundland dog, a large and powerful breed, is depicted with its distinctive black coat, webbed feet, and expressive eyes. Originally from the island of Newfoundland, these dogs were prized for their strength, agility, and exceptional swimming abilities. They were traditionally used for various tasks, including fishing, as rescue dogs, and as family protectors. The St. Bernard dog, another large breed, is shown with its distinctive shaggy white coat and drooping ears. Hailing from the Saint Bernard Pass in the Swiss Alps, these dogs were bred for their strength, endurance, and ability to find and rescue lost travelers in the harsh winter conditions. They are also known for their gentle and friendly disposition. Brodtmann's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the intricate textures and patterns of the dogs' coats, as well as the lifelike expressions on their faces. This stunning lithograph is a testament to the rich history and unique characteristics of these two beloved breeds, and serves as a reminder of the special bond between humans and their canine companions.
