EDITORS COMMENTS
This early photograph, dated 1st August 1880, showcases a rare and intriguing example of Type B Bull Dogs, an early precursor to the modern Bulldog breed as we know it today. The image offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing valuable insight into the appearance and characteristics of Bull Dogs during this time. The dogs in the photograph exhibit distinct features that set them apart from their modern counterparts. Their long, curved noses, which have since been selectively bred out of the breed, are a notable feature, giving them a more elongated and refined appearance. Their coats, shown in vibrant colour, display a range of hues and patterns, further highlighting the diversity within the breed during this era. These Bull Dogs, believed to be of British origin, are likely among the earliest known colour photographs of the breed. The image serves as a testament to the rich history and evolution of the Bulldog breed, offering a unique perspective on the breed's early development. The photograph's preservation and availability through Mary Evans Prints Online is a valuable resource for researchers, historians, and enthusiasts of the Bulldog breed, providing a tangible connection to the past and a deeper understanding of the breed's origins and evolution.
