EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "A criminal caught by three mastiffs" takes us back to 19th century France, where crime and punishment were a daily reality. The image depicts a dramatic scene of a trespasser being subdued by three fierce mastiffs under the cover of darkness. The composition is filled with tension as the criminal desperately tries to defend himself against the relentless attack of these powerful guard dogs. The lantern held by the nightwatchman casts an eerie glow, illuminating their struggle in vivid detail. This artwork was originally created as an illustration for Le Petit Journal on November 21,1891. It captures not only the danger and fear associated with crime but also highlights the role of animals in maintaining law and order. The dogs' loyalty and ferocity are evident in their determined expressions, showcasing their unwavering dedication to protecting their territory. This print serves as a reminder that even in times long past, humans relied on faithful companions like these mastiffs to safeguard their communities from criminals. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot, we are transported into a world where justice prevailed through both human intervention and animal instinct. It stands as a testament to French culture during that era when guard dogs played an integral part in maintaining security across France's cities and towns.
