EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the heartwarming scene of a Dog from the Hospice of St Bernard finding a traveller in the snow. The image, dating back to around 1840, showcases the noble and loyal nature of these rescue dogs that were named after Bernard of Menthon, who built mountain rest houses in the Alps.
As we gaze upon this historical print, we are transported to a time when these furry heroes roamed the snowy mountains, ready to lend a helping paw to weary travelers. The intricate details of the wood engraving bring to life the rugged terrain and harsh conditions faced by both man and beast in their Alpine adventures.
The bond between human and animal is beautifully depicted in this artwork, as we see the dog dutifully leading the lost traveler towards safety and shelter. It serves as a reminder of the selflessness and bravery exhibited by our four-legged companions throughout history.
This timeless piece not only celebrates the resilience of these remarkable dogs but also pays homage to those who risked their lives traversing treacherous landscapes. It is a testament to courage, compassion, and camaraderie against all odds.
