EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite engraving of "The English Mastiff" by the English School in the 19th century. Housed in a private collection, this artwork was originally created as an illustration for Chatterbox in 1887. The image beautifully captures the majestic presence of the English Mastiff, a breed renowned for its strength and size. Intriguingly, this depiction of the noble mastiff is set against a backdrop that hints at ancient history and resistance. Native warriors from Roman Britain are portrayed alongside the dog, symbolizing their connection to these powerful creatures. The walking stick or cane held by one warrior adds an element of intrigue and mystery to the scene. As we delve into British heritage, it becomes apparent that this print not only represents Great Britain but also pays homage to its rich history. The inclusion of Europe on a map subtly reminds us of Britain's place within larger European narratives. Bridgeman Images has expertly captured this remarkable piece without mentioning any commercial use restrictions. It serves as a reminder that art can transport us through time and space while celebrating our shared cultural heritage. This print invites viewers to appreciate both the beauty of nature embodied by the magnificent mastiff and reflect upon historical connections between humans and animals throughout centuries past.
