EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The New Chien Savant, or Learned Dog" an engraving created by F-Morellon la Cave in 1752. The image captures the essence of a fascinating craze that swept through 18th century Britain - the training of animals to answer questions, solve sums, and even spell words using lettered and numbered cards. In this enchanting scene, we witness a remarkable spaniel performing with utmost precision and intelligence. The dog's ability to comprehend language is beautifully depicted as it confidently mouths all forms of communication from its roots. As we gaze upon this extraordinary spectacle, we are reminded of the blurred lines between human souls and animal instincts. Set against a picturesque Georgian landscape, this print transports us back in time to an era where rural charm intertwined with intellectual curiosity. The trained dog becomes not only a performer but also a symbol of the evolving relationship between humans and their domesticated companions. With every detail meticulously engraved by Nicholls Sutton in the 18th century style, this artwork captures both the awe-inspiring talent of these trained animals and society's fascination with their abilities. It serves as a testament to our enduring connection with nature's creatures while igniting our imagination about what lies beyond conventional understanding. This intriguing piece can be found at the British Museum in London, UK – an institution dedicated to preserving historical artifacts that shape our collective cultural heritage.
