EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving, taken from William Smellie's translation of Count Georges Buffon's "History of the Earth and Animated Nature," published in London in 1829 by Thomas Kelly, showcases an impressive array of breeds of Canis lupus familiaris or domestic dogs. The image includes a Greyhound, Harrier, Foxhound, Spaniel, Pointer, and Terrier. Each breed is depicted in its distinctive form, showcasing their unique physical characteristics. The Greyhound, the fastest of all the breeds, is depicted with a lean and graceful body, long legs, and a sleek coat. The Harrier, a scent hound, is shown with a long body, short legs, and long ears. The Foxhound, a pack hunting breed, is depicted with a robust build and a long snout. The Spaniel, a versatile breed, is shown with a short, stocky body and long, drooping ears. The Pointer, a gun dog, is depicted with a slender body and an uplifted head, indicating its readiness to point game. The Terrier, a breed known for its tenacity and courage, is shown with a compact body and a strong jaw. In the background of the image, various deer species, including Javan, Rusa, Sunda, Sambar, Timorensis, Vulnerable, Samboo, Stag, and others, can be seen. The dogs are depicted in a garden setting, possibly in a zoological society or a private collection, surrounded by lush greenery and flowers. The intricate details of the engraving, combined with the vibrant colours of the handcolouring, make this a stunning and educational piece of art that captures the beauty and diversity of both dogs and deer.
