Breeds Depicted Pekingese Puppies
EDITORS COMMENTS
This image is taken from an Imperial Dog Book, a historical Chinese manuscript that dates back to the late Qing Dynasty (1861-1912). The book, a precious record of the various breeds of dogs kept in the Imperial Court, showcases the elegance and refinement of the Pekingese breed. In this particular illustration, a regal white Pekingese dog is depicted with its proud posture and distinctive lion-like face, adorned with a golden collar and intricate jewelry. Surrounding the adult dog are its playful and mischievous puppies, their tiny bodies covered in soft, white fur. The Pekingese breed, also known as the Lion Dog, has a rich history that dates back over a thousand years. Originating in China, the breed was highly prized by the Imperial Court for its unique appearance and temperament. The dogs were believed to bring good fortune and were often kept as companions to the Emperor and Empress. The Imperial Dog Book, a testament to the importance of these animals in Chinese culture, contains detailed descriptions and illustrations of various dog breeds, including the Pekingese. The manuscript is an invaluable resource for understanding the history and evolution of the breed, as well as the role that dogs played in Chinese society during the Imperial era. This photograph print, brought to us by Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when dogs were cherished companions and symbols of wealth and status. The image of the white Pekingese dog and its puppies, as depicted in the Imperial Dog Book, is a reminder of the enduring bond between humans and their canine companions and the rich cultural heritage that exists between China and the world.
