Canine Breeds: A Collection of 19th Century Dog Illustrations, circa 1840

About the Item

Antique print titled 'Schäferhund, Englisch Dogge, Spanischer Hund , Dachshund, Windhund, Hund von Neufundland'. This print originates from 'Naturgeschichte der Säugetiere' by Schinz. Published circa 1840. Lithographed by Honegger. The images are historical or vintage illustrations of dogs, each labeled with a different breed name in German. Here's a description of each: 1. "Hund von Neufundland" translates to "Newfoundland dog". The illustration shows a large, sturdy dog with thick, wavy fur, likely adapted for cold climates and swimming. 2. "Windhund" translates to "Greyhound". The image depicts two sleek, slender dogs with long legs and a streamlined body, characteristic of a breed built for speed. 3. "Spanischer Hund" translates to "Spanish dog". The drawing displays a medium-sized dog with floppy ears and a spotted coat, which might suggest a hunting or pointer breed. 4. "Dachshund" is the same in English, commonly known as a "wiener dog" or "sausage dog". This illustration shows a small, long-bodied dog with short legs, known for its tenacity in hunting small game. 5. "Englische Dogge" translates to "English Mastiff". The illustration features a large, muscular dog with a short coat, shown in a powerful, attentive stance. 6. "Schäferhund" translates to "Shepherd dog", likely referring to the German Shepherd. The drawing shows a large, attentive dog with pointed ears and a long snout, known for its intelligence and versatility. These images are reminiscent of traditional breed illustrations, which were often used in breed identification books or veterinary manuals in the past.
