EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored engraving, created by Annedouche after a drawing by Edouard Travies, showcases an intriguing gathering of three distinct breeds of dogs: a Whippet, a Basset Hound, and a Hunting Dog. The image is taken from the Richards New Edition of the Complete Works of Comte de Buffon, published by Pourrat Freres in Paris in 1837. The Whippet, depicted on the left, is a sleek and slender breed, originally bred for coursing and racing. Its agility and speed make it an excellent companion for hunting hares and other small game. The Whippet's elegant form and graceful posture are beautifully captured in this engraving, with its ears laid back and eyes focused intently on the horizon. In the center of the image, a Basset Hound lounges contentedly, its short legs and long ears adding to its distinctive appearance. This breed, with its powerful sense of smell and tenacious tracking instincts, was traditionally used for hunting rabbits and other small game. The Basset Hound's relaxed demeanor and expressive face make it a beloved companion for many dog lovers. On the right, a Hunting Dog, also known as a Canis Lupus Familiaris, stands alert and attentive. This versatile breed was used for various hunting purposes, from retrieving game to guarding property. Its powerful build and keen senses make it an essential companion for hunters. This charming engraving not only showcases the unique characteristics of these three breeds but also provides a glimpse into the rich history of canine zoology and the art of handcolored steel engravings. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring the dogs to life, making this a cherished addition to any collection of historical animal illustrations.
