EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that transports us back to the 19th century. Created by Thomas Landseer, this mixed method engraving on chine colle showcases his exceptional talent and attention to detail. In this monochromatic masterpiece, we are introduced to a regal Maltese terrier known as "The Lion-Dog". With its majestic mane and dignified gaze, it stands as the last surviving member of its tribe. The black and white tones add a timeless quality to the image, emphasizing the historical significance of this noble creature. The composition also features Princess Victoria Mary Louisa von Saxe Coburg Saalfeld, who appears alongside the lion-dog with an air of elegance befitting her royal status. Her presence adds depth and context to the artwork, highlighting both her appreciation for animals and her connection with British heritage. Thomas Landseer's expertise in capturing intricate details is evident in every stroke of his engraving technique. The fine lines bring out texture and create a sense of realism that draws viewers into this enchanting world. This remarkable piece can be found at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), where it continues to captivate visitors with its beauty and historical significance. It serves as a testament not only to Landseer's artistic prowess but also to our fascination with preserving moments from history through art.
