EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th century photograph, sourced from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us back in time to the late Victorian or Edwardian era, an age of elegance and refinement. The image features a proud group of Deerhounds, their noble forms poised and alert, their eyes fixed on some unseen target. These majestic dogs, with their long, slender bodies and elegant heads, were bred specifically for hunting deer and were highly prized by the aristocracy and gentry of the time. The photograph's soft focus and warm, golden tones evoke a sense of nostalgia and wonder, transporting us to a bygone era. The dogs are depicted in a natural setting, surrounded by lush greenery and dappled sunlight, adding to the idyllic scene. The use of a lantern slide, a popular method of projecting photographs during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, further adds to the vintage charm of the image. Deerhounds were not only cherished for their hunting abilities but also for their striking appearance and gentle demeanor. They were often kept as companions and were a common sight at country estates and manor houses. This photograph offers a glimpse into the world of the wealthy and privileged, a world where nature and beauty were celebrated and where these magnificent animals held a special place. This photograph is a testament to the enduring appeal of the Deerhound breed and the rich history of the Victorian and Edwardian eras. It invites us to reflect on the past and to appreciate the beauty and grace of these magnificent creatures, both as hunting companions and as symbols of the natural world.
