Munito the Wonder Dog: A Canine Maestro of Card Tricks Delights a Fashionable Audience in 1815 In this handcoloured engraving from Pierre de la Mesangere's Le Bon Genre, published in Paris in 1817, Munito the wonder dog mesmerizes an elegant audience with his impressive card tricks. Dressed in a smart cravat and collar, Munito confidently performs the art of sleight of hand, leaving his fashionable onlookers in awe. The audience, adorned in the latest fashion trends of the time, including bonnets, coats, and lace suits, are fully engaged in the entertainment, their expressions a mix of astonishment and delight. Satirical in nature, Le Bon Genre was a popular French publication known for its humorous commentary on society and culture. The inclusion of Munito the wonder dog in this engraving highlights the fascination with animals and their ability to entertain and amuse the public. The image also serves as a reminder of the close relationship between fashion, lifestyle, and entertainment during the early 19th century. Munito's impressive card tricks were not only a testament to his intelligence and agility but also a reflection of the growing popularity of animal acts in various forms of entertainment. This charming handcoloured engraving offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the bond between man and dog, as well as the fascination with the unexpected and the extraordinary.
