From the majestic Irish Wolf-Dog to the noble act of hunting gazelles, this collection showcases a timeless appreciation for man's best friend. Intricate engravings capture the essence of these remarkable creatures. The Irish Wolf-Dog engraving portrays strength and grace, while "Une prise de sanglier" depicts their tenacity in pursuing wild boars.

It reminds us that even in pursuit of adventure, style should never be compromised. This collection pays homage to those who understand that true refinement lies not only in one's actions but also in their appearance. The lithograph showcasing a lion killed by dogs serves as a testament to these canines' courage and loyalty. They fearlessly protect their human companions from formidable foes, earning our admiration and respect. Artistic masterpieces like "Diana and Actaeon" bring mythology alive with its depiction of hounds accompanying goddesses on hunts. Such paintings remind us that throughout history, dogs have been revered as loyal companions during exhilarating pursuits. From vellum illustrations capturing scenes from ancient codices to vibrant color lithographs depicting exceptional mail deliveries or noblewomen climbing hills with greyhounds at their side – each artwork tells a unique story about our enduring bond with dogs. Even within indoor circuses or combat arenas filled with wild beasts, noblemen watch intently as hounds display their agility and skill. Engravings like Jan Collaert's masterpiece transport us back to an era when such spectacles were both entertainment and displays of power. Countess Lucia Costa's lithograph captures her adventurous spirit alongside her husband and two greyhounds.
