EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts an old type Pug dog, a breed known for its distinctive features that have captured the hearts of dog lovers for centuries. The Pug in this image, with its cropped ears and long, curved snout, harks back to an earlier period in the breed's history. Unlike the more exaggerated features of modern Pugs, this historical example showcases the breed's original appearance. The Pug's tail, although less exaggerated than in later periods, is curled gracefully over its back, adding to the breed's distinctive silhouette. The Pug's bright, expressive eyes and wrinkled face are also evident in this image, making it clear that this breed has remained largely unchanged in terms of its charming personality. The Pug breed has a rich history that dates back to ancient China, where it was believed to bring good fortune and protect against evil spirits. The breed was later introduced to Europe in the 16th century and quickly gained popularity among the aristocracy. This print, dating back to 1817-1825, is a testament to the enduring appeal of the Pug breed and its unique characteristics. The Old Type Pug in this print serves as a reminder of the breed's history and the evolution of its physical features over time. Its cropped ears and long snout are a nod to the past, while its bright eyes and friendly expression remain as endearing as ever. This print is a must-have for any dog lover or history enthusiast, offering a glimpse into the past and the fascinating history of this beloved breed.
