The Major Domo by H.C. Shaw, March 1890 - A Sleepy St. Bernard in Victorian Elegance This illustration, titled 'The Major Domo' by British artist H.C. Shaw, dates back to March 1890, showcasing a sleepy St. Bernard dog in a serene and elegant setting. The St. Bernard, a large breed known for its distinctive brown and white coat, is a popular symbol of loyalty, strength, and companionship. In this enchanting artwork, the Major Domo, or 'great lord of the house,' is depicted in a tranquil moment, his massive form sprawled out on a plush rug, his eyes half-closed, and a contented expression gracing his face. The dog's paws rest on a worn, leather-bound book, as if he has just finished an exhausting day of guarding his master's estate. The Victorian era, characterized by its ornate decor, attention to detail, and emphasis on domesticity, is beautifully captured in the background of this illustration. The room is adorned with rich, dark wood furnishings, intricate patterns, and plush textiles, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The Major Domo, with its charming depiction of a sleepy St. Bernard in a Victorian setting, is a testament to the enduring appeal of the St. Bernard breed and the Victorian era. This illustration is a must-have for art collectors, dog lovers, and anyone who appreciates the beauty and elegance of the past.
