1879 Breeds Dane Hannover Owned
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1879, showcases the majestic presence of NERO, a Great Dane owned by Ed. Messler from Hannover, Germany. The image offers a glimpse into the rich history of this noble breed, which can be traced back to ancient Egypt and Greece. Great Danes, also known as Deutsche Dogge or German Mastiff, were originally bred for hunting large game such as wild boar and bear. Their impressive size, strength, and agility made them formidable hunting companions. NERO, with his powerful build and regal demeanor, embodies the essence of this noble breed. Ed. Messler, a proud owner of this magnificent creature, stands beside NERO, his hand gently resting on the dog's massive head. The connection between man and dog is palpable, reflecting the deep bond that has existed between humans and Great Danes for centuries. The photograph was taken during a time when the breed was gaining popularity in Europe and North America. The Great Dane Club of Germany was founded in 1888, and the first American Kennel Club registration occurred in 1889. This photograph serves as a testament to the enduring appeal of the breed and the joy they bring to their owners. The black and tan coat of NERO shines under the soft light, highlighting the intricate patterns and textures of his fur. The photograph's composition, with the owner and dog set against a simple, uncluttered background, allows the viewer to focus on the beauty and power of the Great Dane. This photograph is not only a historical record of a beloved pet but also a reminder of the important role that dogs, particularly Great Danes, have played in human history. The image captures a moment in time, preserving the legacy of NERO and the Great Dane breed for future generations to appreciate.
