1790 Attachment Bewick Breeds Spaniel
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "The Large Water-Spaniel, Classed by Bewick," is a historical representation of one of the oldest and most beloved breeds of sporting dogs. Dating back to the late 18th century, this image was created by renowned English engraver and naturalist, Thomas Bewick, in 1790. The Large Water-Spaniel, also known as the Old English Water Dog, was highly valued for its exceptional docility and unwavering attachment to its master. The Large Water-Spaniel was a versatile breed, bred primarily for its ability to retrieve game in water. With its thick, curly coat, webbed feet, and powerful build, this breed was perfectly suited for the harsh conditions of the English countryside. In this print, we see a proud and noble example of the breed, with its head held high and eyes fixed intently on its master. Bewick's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the intricate engraving, which captures the textured fur, the expressive eyes, and the muscular form of the dog. The background features a serene lake and rolling hills, further emphasizing the breed's role as a companion in the natural world. The historical significance of this print lies not only in its depiction of a beloved breed but also in its role as a testament to the deep bond between man and dog. The Large Water-Spaniel was more than just a hunting companion; it was a loyal friend and confidant, a companion that would accompany its master through all manner of adventures in the great outdoors. Today, the Large Water-Spaniel may no longer be as common as it once was, but its legacy lives on in the hearts and minds of dog lovers and historians alike. This beautiful print serves as a reminder of the rich history of this remarkable breed and the enduring bond between man and dog.
