EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic Tibetan mastiff, also known as Canis lupus familiaris or Mastiff of Tibet. The image, captured by artist William Home Lizars and beautifully handcoloured, depicts the regal stature of this remarkable breed. With its striking appearance and powerful presence, the Tibetan mastiff is often regarded as a symbol of strength and loyalty. This steel engraving perfectly captures its noble features, highlighting every intricate detail from a drawing by James Stewart. Originally featured in Colonel Charles Hamilton Smith's volume on Dogs from Sir William Jardine's Naturalists Library: Mammalia in 1840, this artwork has become an iconic representation of canine beauty. The Tibetan mastiff is renowned for its role as a guard dog due to its protective nature and keen senses. Its origins trace back to ancient times when it was used to safeguard flocks against predators such as wolves and jackals. In addition to their guarding abilities, these dogs are highly valued companions known for their intelligence and devotion. Whether serving as hunting partners or lapdogs, they have endeared themselves to humans throughout history. This print not only celebrates the magnificence of the Tibetan mastiff but also pays homage to other wildlife animals depicted within it. From hounds like deerhounds and basset hounds to collie dogs and even puppies, this artwork offers a glimpse into the diverse world of canines found in nature's library.
