EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the legendary tale of Gelert, a faithful dog who saves a child from a menacing wolf. The image, created by an unknown artist and reproduced in color for The Nations Pictures collection, captures the essence of heroism and loyalty that defines this Welsh legend. Depicted in the 19th century style, Gelert is seen licking the face of a baby nestled peacefully in its cradle. With his noble stance and unwavering gaze, Gelert embodies the epitome of bravery and devotion. This scene beautifully illustrates how even animals can display acts of extraordinary courage. The composition exudes Victorian charm with its attention to detail and vibrant colors. It transports viewers back to an era where legends were passed down through artistry and storytelling. The print's inclusion in the Reading Museum & Town Hall further solidifies its significance as part of British cultural heritage.
