In the 18th century, a remarkable event unfolded on the banks of the River Tyne in England. A Newfoundland dog, known for its strength and swimming abilities, became an unlikely hero when it saved a young boy from drowning. This heartwarming tale captured the attention of many, leading to various engravings depicting this extraordinary act. One such engraving showcases the noble Newfoundland dog in all its glory. With its thick coat and powerful build, it exudes an aura of strength and loyalty. Another colored engraving portrays a Shepherd Dog from the years 1833-39, highlighting yet another breed that possesses similar traits. The Exhibition of Sporting and Other Dogs also featured depictions of these magnificent creatures. Among them was the iconic Newfoundland dog - Canis lupus familiaris or Canis terranovae as it is scientifically classified. Its presence at such exhibitions showcased not only their physical prowess but also their popularity among dog enthusiasts. A vibrant lithograph from 1860 captures the essence of these faithful friends with striking colors that bring out their gentle nature. These dogs were cherished companions who formed unbreakable bonds with their human counterparts. As we delve into history through beautifully illustrated engravings, we come across intriguing images showcasing strange dogs and foxes alongside Newfoundlands – a testament to their versatility as working animals. The Great Exhibition held in London during this era included a grand panorama featuring various breeds including our beloved Newfoundlands. The sheer scale of this event emphasized just how significant these dogs were within society. Flipping through pages from The Pictorial Museum of Animated Nature takes us on an enchanting journey where we encounter detailed engravings capturing every nuance of these majestic creatures' appearance and character. Even earlier sketches found within a Newfoundland Dog Sketchbook dating back to 1810-20 showcase ink wash drawings that highlight both artistic skill and admiration for these incredible canines.
