EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, dated 1879, showcases CHAMPION-COLONEL, a majestic Mastiff owned by the esteemed Englishman, Richard Alston. The image captures the essence of the breed's power, strength, and regal demeanor, making it a standout among early canine photography. During the late 19th century, the Mastiff breed was a popular choice among the aristocracy, and CHAMPION-COLONEL was no exception. Richard Alston, a man of means and refinement, took great pride in his impressive companion. The photograph, taken during the height of the Victorian era, reflects the growing fascination with dogs as cherished family members and status symbols. The setting of the image is simple yet effective, with CHAMPION-COLONEL posing against a plain backdrop, allowing the dog's striking features to take center stage. The Mastiff's muscular build, deep chest, and powerful jaws are on full display, while his piercing gaze and alert posture convey a sense of intelligence and alertness. The photograph's composition and lighting also contribute to its timeless appeal. The soft focus and even exposure create a sense of depth and dimension, while the natural light illuminating the dog's coat adds a touch of elegance and sophistication. As a testament to the bond between man and dog, this photograph of CHAMPION-COLONEL and Richard Alston serves as a reminder of the enduring connection between humans and their canine companions. It is a poignant reminder of the past, showcasing the beauty and majesty of one of the oldest and most revered breeds in history.
