EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Parent of the modern coach dog, Canis lupus familiaris" takes us back in time to appreciate the origins of our beloved canine companions. Created by William Home Lizars and handcolored with exquisite detail, this steel engraving showcases a drawing by Colonel Charles Hamilton Smith from his volume on Dogs in Sir William Jardine's Naturalists Library: Mammalia. The image features a majestic wolf, symbolizing the ancestor of our modern-day coach dogs. With its piercing eyes and proud stance, it exudes both strength and elegance. This portrayal reminds us of the deep connection between these magnificent creatures and their domesticated descendants. Intriguingly, we see several other animals surrounding the parent wolf - jackals, she-wolves, even deerhounds and basset hounds. This hints at the diverse lineage that has contributed to shaping today's canines through centuries of selective breeding. Beyond their historical significance, these dogs were not merely companions but also served various practical purposes such as hunting or guarding. From lapdogs to working breeds like collies or bloodhounds used in state hunting activities or bloodsports; they have played vital roles throughout human history. As we admire this remarkable artwork captured by Bridgeman Images for Fine Art Finder, let us reflect on how far we have come alongside our loyal four-legged friends. The intricate details within this print remind us why dogs hold such a special place in our hearts – they are not just pets but cherished
