EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Useful Domestic Dogs, Canis lupus familiaris," showcases a diverse array of breeds that have been an integral part of human life for centuries. The image, created through the meticulous process of hand-colored copperplate engraving, was produced by renowned Scottish engraver William Smellie and published by the esteemed Zoological Society of London in the late 18th century. The print features various breeds of dogs, including the Cur or cattle dog, Bull or beast dog, extinct Rough Water Dog, Mastiff or guard dog, Dalmatian or coach dog, Shepherd dog, Newfoundland or house dog, and Terrier or vermin dog. Each breed is depicted in its unique form, highlighting their distinct physical characteristics and individual roles in human society. The African Bloodhounds, with their elongated snouts and keen sense of smell, were often used for tracking game or missing persons. In gardens and estates, the Webbed Hand-coloured Dogs, with their waterproof coats and webbed feet, were invaluable for retrieving game from water. The Mastiffs, with their powerful build and protective instincts, served as loyal guard dogs, while the Dalmatians, with their striking spots, were traditionally used as coach dogs due to their ability to run alongside carriages and protect horses. This print is a testament to the rich history and diverse roles that dogs have played in human civilization. The intricate details and vibrant colors of the engraving bring the various breeds to life, making it an animated and captivating representation of the natural world. The print was translated and published under the guidance of the esteemed Count Georges-Louis Leclerc, Comte de Buffon, a renowned naturalist and encyclopedist of the time. This print is a valuable historical document, providing a glimpse into the past and the important role that dogs have played in human history.
