A collection of three exceptional albumen photographs, each capturing a prize-winning dog from the Exposition Canine des Tuileries in 1882. These images are beautifully mounted on album pages, preserving both the historical and artistic value of these early examples of canine portraiture.
Photograph 1: Rustic - “ A noble "Chien de St-Hubert" (St. Hubert's Hound), awarded 1st Prize in Class 23, owned by M. Le Comte Le Coulteux. This powerful and stately dog is presented in a side profile, showcasing its strength and elegance.
Photograph 2: Rica - “ A "Griffon d'Arrêt" (Pointing Griffon), awarded 2nd Prize, owned by M. Cottereau. This image captures the dog's alert and poised demeanor, emphasizing its sharp features and well-groomed appearance.
Photograph 3: Nora - “ A "Setter rouge d'Irlande" (Irish Red Setter), awarded 1st Prize, owned by M. Le Comte A. de Vaux. Nora is depicted in a classic pose, her sleek coat and proud stance illustrating the breed's distinguished qualities.
Each photograph is meticulously detailed, offering a rare glimpse into the early history of dog shows and the revered breeds of the time. The images are complemented by the original inscriptions below each dog’s name, breed, owner, and prize details, adding to the authenticity and historical significance of the collection.
These photographs would be a remarkable addition to any collection focused on vintage photography, canine history, or 19th-century exhibitions. They provide not only an aesthetic appeal but also a valuable record of the breeding and presentation standards of the era.
