EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Fall in Newfoundland, 1914: Champion Shelton King," transports us back in time to a crisp autumn day in the ruggedly beautiful landscape of Newfoundland, Canada. The image features a proud and powerful Champion Shelton King, a Newfoundland Dog, standing amongst a vibrant display of autumn foliage. With his dense, waterproof coat in full glory, the dog gazes intently into the distance, exuding strength and loyalty. Newfoundland Dogs, also known as "Newfies," were originally bred on the island of Newfoundland for their exceptional swimming abilities and strength. They were valued for their assistance in fishing communities, where they would help fishermen pull in nets and haul heavy loads. Their thick, waterproof coats protected them from the harsh elements, making them indispensable companions in the challenging Newfoundland climate. The identity of the Champion Shelton King's owner remains a mystery, but their bond with the dog is evident in this photograph. The dog's obedience and devotion are palpable, making for a heartwarming scene that showcases the unique connection between humans and their canine counterparts. This photograph, taken circa 1914, offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the history and heritage of both the Newfoundland Dog breed and the enchanting island of Newfoundland. The autumnal setting adds an extra layer of charm, making it a timeless and evocative image that continues to captivate viewers today.
