EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph showcases Dockleaf, the most expensive bulldog ever purchased in 1892. Created by an anonymous English School artist from the 19th century, this print is now part of a private collection. The image was originally commissioned for Black & White magazine on December 3rd, 1892. Dockleaf's significance lies not only in his hefty price tag but also in his portrayal as a symbol of prestige and opulence during the late Victorian era. This exquisite portrait captures the essence of this magnificent canine with remarkable detail and precision. The bulldog stands proudly, exuding strength and nobility. His distinctive features are meticulously rendered - from his muscular build to his expressive eyes and trademark wrinkled face. This artwork serves as a testament to the popularity of pedigree breeds at that time, highlighting their status as cherished pets among British society. Beyond its historical context, this lithograph offers us a glimpse into German culture during that period. With references to Germany scattered throughout the caption, it hints at an appreciation for European influences within Great Britain. As we admire this stunning piece of artistry, we can't help but marvel at Dockleaf's legacy - forever immortalized through this litho print. It serves as a reminder of our enduring fascination with animals and their place within our shared history.
