EDITORS COMMENTS
In this 18th-century print, we witness an extraordinary bond between a French gentleman and his loyal companion, Jacquot the male goose. This heartwarming scene depicts a remarkable friendship that transcends species boundaries. Jacquot, the greylag goose, is seen standing proudly beside his human friend as they embark on a journey together. The gander's unwavering loyalty is evident as he accompanies the man for many miles, serving as both protector and confidant. This enchanting anecdote was inspired by Comte de Buffon's Histoire Naturelle, showcasing the deep connection that can exist between humans and animals. Handcoloured with intricate detail, this copperplate engraving beautifully captures the essence of their companionship. Reverend Thomas Smith's The Naturalists Cabinet further immortalizes this unique relationship in its pages filled with interesting sketches of animal history. Through this scientific illustration, we are reminded of the wonders of zoology and ornithology. The image evokes feelings of warmth and camaraderie as we witness two beings from different worlds forming an unbreakable bond. It serves as a testament to the power of friendship and reminds us that true connections can be found in unexpected places. As we gaze upon this print from Fine Art Finder by Bridgeman Images, let us celebrate not only the beauty of nature but also the incredible capacity for love shared between humans and animals throughout history.
