EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking image, titled "Le Dogue," depicts a majestic Bewick Mastiff, a historic breed of mastiff that was once widely admired for its power and strength. The photograph is an engraving from the natural history publication "Histoire Naturelle, Générale et Particulière" by the renowned French naturalist Georges-Louis Leclerc, Comte de Buffon, published in 1790. Buffon, a pioneering figure in the field of natural history, described the Bewick Mastiff as "Canis Molossus," a name that was commonly used to refer to large, powerful breeds of mastiffs during that time. The Bewick Mastiff, also known as the English Mastiff or the Old English Mastiff, was a popular breed in England during the Middle Ages and was used for various purposes, including hunting wild boar and guarding estates. This particular specimen, as depicted in the engraving, exudes an aura of power and intimidation with its massive build, muscular frame, and piercing gaze. The breed's distinctive features, such as its large head, deep-set eyes, and powerful jaws, are all on full display in this image. The Bewick Mastiff is believed to have originated in ancient Rome and was named after the Roman god Mars, the god of war. Over the centuries, the breed underwent various changes and adaptations, but its essential characteristics remained largely unchanged. Today, the breed is still cherished by many for its loyalty, courage, and imposing presence. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of the Bewick Mastiff and the important role it played in shaping the world of dogs and natural history. It serves as a reminder of the enduring fascination that humans have had with these magnificent creatures and the vital role they have played in our lives for centuries.
