EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic Newfoundland dog, also known as Canis lupus familiaris or Canis terranovae. The image, captured by renowned artist William Home Lizars and based on a drawing by Colonel Charles Hamilton Smith, is a handcoloured steel engraving from the 1840 edition of Sir William Jardine's Naturalists Library: Mammalia. The Newfoundland dog depicted in this artwork exemplifies strength and grace. With its thick fur glistening under the sunlight, it exudes an aura of power and nobility. Known for their fishing abilities, these dogs were often referred to as "fisherman's dogs" or "fishing dogs". Their webbed paws and strong swimming skills made them invaluable companions for those working near water. In this print, we see the Newfoundland dog standing tall with a walking stick nearby. Its alert eyes suggest an unwavering focus on its surroundings. This breed has been historically associated with hunting due to its exceptional sense of smell and tracking abilities. Beyond their hunting prowess, Newfoundland dogs are also known for their gentle nature and loyalty towards humans. They make excellent guard dogs while simultaneously being loving family pets. This remarkable artwork not only captures the essence of this magnificent canine but also serves as a testament to Lizars' talent in bringing wildlife animals to life through his intricate engravings.
