Ratting at the Paris Dog Show, 1870 This photograph captures the excitement and elegance of the Paris Dog Show in the year 1870. The image showcases a ratting event, a popular dog sport of the time, where dogs were bred and trained to hunt rats. The setting is a grand exhibition hall adorned with ornate columns, large windows letting in natural light, and a lively crowd of spectators. At the center of the photograph, a terrier breed, likely a Rat Terrier or a Bedlington Terrier, is intently focused on its task. Its muscular body is tensed, ready to pounce, while its eyes are fixed on the pot in the foreground. Inside the pot, a rat scurries around, oblivious to the impending danger. The dog's handler, dressed in a smart suit and top hat, stands nearby, encouraging his companion with a whistle and a proud smile. Surrounding the action, a myriad of colorful flowers adds a touch of beauty and charm to the scene. The vibrant hues of the blooms contrast sharply with the earthy tones of the terrier and the rustic pot, creating a visually striking composition. The Paris Dog Show was a prestigious event that attracted dog enthusiasts from all corners of Europe. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the unique bond between humans and their canine companions during an era when dogs were not only cherished pets but also valued hunting partners.
