EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming 19th-century engraving titled "A New Dog-Fancy, the Bassett Hounds" we are transported to a world of whimsy and humor. The artwork captures a delightful scene from an era when books were treasured possessions and pets held a special place in our hearts. The illustration depicts a group of adorable Bassett Hounds gathered around an open book, their tails wagging with excitement. It seems that these intelligent canines have developed quite the fascination for literature! With their droopy ears and soulful eyes, they appear fully engrossed in the pages before them, as if trying to decipher the secrets hidden within. Perhaps it is not just any book that has captured their attention; maybe it is one about dog fancy or even cats – their feline counterparts. The image evokes laughter as we imagine these lovable hounds attempting to understand the complexities of pet ownership through textbooks. This print showcases both the endearing nature of dogs and our enduring love for them throughout history. It reminds us that animals bring joy into our lives, whether through companionship or by simply being themselves. As we gaze upon this enchanting artwork, let us appreciate the timeless bond between humans and their furry friends while cherishing those moments when pets surprise us with unexpected interests - like becoming avid readers!
