EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases two Scottish deerhounds, Marquis of Lorne and Lady of Raikeshill, who have been preserved as stuffed specimens. These magnificent creatures are a breed of domestic dog known scientifically as Canis lupus familiaris. The photograph was taken in the studio at the Natural History Museum in Tring, which was previously known as the Walter Rothschild Zoological Museum. The image captures the historical significance and beauty of these canine specimens, providing a glimpse into our natural history. With their regal stature and elegant features, it is evident why Scottish deerhounds were often favored as hunting dogs throughout history. Against a rich brown background that accentuates their colors and textures, Marquis of Lorne takes center stage while Lady of Raikeshill stands gracefully behind him. Their lifelike presence makes them appear almost ready to leap into action. As part of the museum's extensive collections, these mounted specimens serve as valuable resources for researchers studying zoology and biology. They offer insights into the anatomy and characteristics of this particular breed while also preserving an important piece of wildlife history. This print not only celebrates the beauty and diversity found within our animal kingdom but also pays tribute to the tireless efforts made by institutions like the Natural History Museum in London to preserve our natural heritage for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
