EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the 14th century, showcasing a fascinating glimpse into the care of hunting dogs during medieval times. Titled "Diseases of dogs and their cure, after a miniature in the manuscript of Gaston de Foix" this lithograph captures an engraving from that era. The image depicts a scene filled with activity as we witness a kennelman attending to his hounds. The staff he carries suggests his authority and expertise in handling these magnificent animals. With great attention to detail, we see him meticulously grooming one of the dogs while another patiently waits its turn. Surrounding them is an enchanting forest setting, hinting at their purpose as hunting companions for noble pursuits such as deer hunting. The presence of Phoebus, the Greek god associated with light and knowledge, adds an intriguing mythological touch to this historical tableau. This print not only offers aesthetic appeal but also serves as a valuable educational resource on canine health during medieval times. It provides insight into how our ancestors cared for their loyal four-legged companions and sought remedies for various dog diseases. Preserved within private collections today, this rare piece from The Stapleton Collection allows us to appreciate the artistry and cultural significance behind caring for hunting dogs centuries ago.
