EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph showcases the majestic Newfoundland dog, Canis lupus familiaris, also known as the Newfoundland breed or Canis familiaris terrae novae. The illustration is an exquisite work by the renowned artist James Stewart, created as part of Georg Friedrich Treitschke's Gallery of Natural History in Leipzig, Germany, published in 1842. The Newfoundland dog is a large and powerful breed, originally hailing from the rugged coasts of Newfoundland, Canada. Known for their distinctive black or landseer (black and white) coats, these dogs were bred for their exceptional swimming abilities and strong work ethic. They were prized by fishermen for their assistance in hauling nets and rescuing people from the frigid waters. In this illustration, the Newfoundland dog is depicted in a calm and regal pose, its massive body showcasing its strength and power. Its thick, water-repellent coat is a testament to its adaptation to the harsh Newfoundland climate. The dog's gentle expression and piercing gaze convey a sense of intelligence and loyalty, making it a beloved companion and working breed. James Stewart's masterful use of colour and detail in this lithograph captures the essence of the Newfoundland dog, making it a beautiful addition to any natural history collection. This illustration serves as a reminder of the rich history and unique characteristics of this remarkable breed, which continues to captivate and inspire people around the world.
