EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 19th century, showcasing a remarkable display of canine talent. In this artwork from the French popular science weekly La Science Illustree, we witness a woman engaging in an extraordinary act of instruction with her trained dogs. Standing tall and poised, she commands a Scottish deerhound to perform an awe-inspiring leap over a smaller dog perched on a stack of stools. The sheer height achieved by the leaping deerhound is truly impressive, reaching an astonishing 1.8 meters. This image not only highlights the incredible physical abilities of these animals but also showcases the strong bond between humans and their loyal companions. As we delve into this historical piece, it becomes evident that training dogs was not limited to modern times; even in the 1800s, people were dedicated to teaching their pets various skills. The woman's firm yet gentle guidance demonstrates her expertise as a dog trainer, emphasizing her role as both instructor and protector. Through this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of our enduring fascination with nature's wonders and our desire to understand and connect with different species. It serves as a testament to humanity's ongoing quest for knowledge about our world's diverse fauna while celebrating the cultural significance placed on animal training during that era. This intriguing glimpse into history offers us insight into how far we have come in understanding animal behavior while acknowledging those who paved the way for our current understanding of zoology and biology.
