1879 Borzoi Breeds Flock Hannover Owned
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the late 19th century, showcases a proud and noble Borzoi dog named FLOCK, owned by Max Hartenstein. The image, captured in Hannover, Germany in 1879, highlights the elegant and regal demeanor of this ancient Russian breed. Borzois, also known as Russian Wolfhounds, were originally bred for hunting large game such as wolves and wild boar. Their long, slender bodies and striking appearance made them a favorite among the Russian aristocracy. Max Hartenstein, a passionate dog lover and breeder, is shown in the photograph with FLOCK, who was one of his prized possessions. The dog's sleek coat, piercing eyes, and alert posture exude confidence and grace. The photograph's black and white composition adds to the timeless and classic feel of the image. Borzois were among the most popular breeds of the time, and their popularity extended beyond Russia's borders. This photograph is a testament to the enduring appeal of the breed and the deep connection between humans and their canine companions. The image also provides a glimpse into the past, offering a window into the world of dog breeding and ownership during the late 1800s. The photograph's provenance is from the esteemed Mary Evans Picture Library, a leading provider of historical and cultural images. This photograph is not only a beautiful work of art but also an important historical document, showcasing the rich history and heritage of the Borzoi breed and its place in the world of dog fanciers during the late 19th century.
