1790 Bewick Breeds Bull Dog Courageous Creature Kind
EDITORS COMMENTS
Bewick's Bulldog: The Fiercest and Most Courageous Creature in the World This print depicts a powerful and determined Bulldog, a breed known for its tenacity and bravery. The image is attributed to Thomas Bewick, a renowned English engraver and naturalist, who created this engraving around 1790. Bewick was known for his intricate and detailed illustrations, which often featured animals and wildlife. The Bulldog, immortalized in this print, was considered the fiercest and most courageous creature of all dog kind during Bewick's time. Bulldogs were bred for bull-baiting, a blood sport that involved training dogs to attack and hold a bull until it became exhausted. The Bulldog's distinctive features, such as its wrinkled face, large jowls, and powerful jaw, were specifically bred for this purpose. Despite the controversial origins of the Bulldog breed, Bewick's portrayal of the animal exudes strength and courage. The dog's piercing gaze and muscular build convey a sense of unwavering determination and resilience. The print's intricate details, from the individual strands of fur on the dog's coat to the textured folds of its skin, add to the overall impact of the image. Bewick's Bulldog print is a fascinating glimpse into the history of this iconic breed and the role it played in English culture during the late 18th century. It serves as a reminder of the complex relationship between humans and animals, and the ways in which we have bred and trained animals to serve our needs and desires, for better or for worse. Today, the Bulldog remains a beloved and iconic breed, known for its distinctive appearance and unwavering loyalty.
