EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the intense gaze and powerful presence of a Bullmastiff named Stingo, a head study completed in 1935. The regal canine sits proudly, his ears perked forward and his muscular jawline on full display. The image bears the inscription "HUSSAR STINGO," suggesting a connection to the Hussar Cavalry, a military unit known for its association with horses and hounds. At the time, this majestic Bullmastiff was owned by His Royal Highness The Duke of Gloucester, a member of the British royal family. The Duke was an avid hunter and breeder of various dog breeds, including Bullmastiffs. This photograph offers a glimpse into the Duke's personal collection and his appreciation for the strength and beauty of this noble breed. The Bullmastiff, a British breed, was originally developed in the late 19th century for gamekeeping and guarding. With its muscular build, distinctive wrinkled skin, and powerful jaws, the Bullmastiff exudes an aura of strength and protection. This photograph, taken in 1935, showcases the breed's striking features and the unwavering loyalty that has made the Bullmastiff a beloved companion and working dog for generations. This head study offers a unique opportunity to connect with the past and appreciate the rich history of the Bullmastiff breed and its connection to the British monarchy.
