EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the 19th century in the picturesque region of Perigord, France, where the art of truffle hunting with dogs reached new heights. This photograph, taken from the Mary Evans Picture Library, showcases the rich history and tradition of this ancient practice. In the image, intrepid hunters and their loyal canine companions are seen meticulously searching for the elusive and highly prized truffles, hidden beneath the earth. The truffles, known as 'funghi' in Italian, have long been revered for their unique aroma and exquisite flavor, making them a delicacy sought after by gourmets and nobility alike. The setting is idyllic, with the lush greenery of the forest providing the perfect backdrop for the hunters and their quarry. The truffle samples in the corner of the photograph serve as a testament to the success of their efforts, their earthy hues a stark contrast to the vibrant colors of the surrounding flora. Truffle hunting in Perigord, also known as the 'Truffle Capital of the World,' dates back to the Roman times. The use of dogs to locate these subterranean delicacies became popular during the Middle Ages, with the breeds most commonly used being the French Briard, the English Foxhound, and the Périgord Truffle Dog. This historical photograph not only offers a glimpse into the past but also highlights the deep bond between man and dog, as they work together in harmony to uncover the hidden treasures of the earth. The tradition of truffle hunting in Perigord continues to this day, making it an essential part of the region's rich cultural heritage.
