1879 Breeds Hannover Otterhound Owned Schmidt
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the late 19th century, showcases the proud and noble Otterhound named Welcome, owned by Schmidt, Pramierlieutenant in Hannover, Germany. The Otterhound is a breed of large, powerful hunting dog, specifically bred for its exceptional abilities in tracking and retrieving otters. The history of the Otterhound can be traced back to medieval Europe, where they were highly valued for their skills in hunting otters for their fur and meat. The breed's distinctive appearance, including long, pendulous ears, webbed feet, and a thick, waterproof coat, were all adaptations that made them excellent swimmers and hunters in water. In this photograph, Welcome is depicted in a serene setting, with a calm and focused expression on his face. His coat, glossy and well-groomed, shines in the natural light, and his ears are held erect, alert and ready. Schmidt, his owner, stands beside him, dressed in the uniform of a Pramierlieutenant, a high-ranking military officer in the Hannoverian army. The photograph captures a moment of bonding between man and dog, a testament to the deep connection between them. The year is 1879, a time when photography was still a relatively new technology, and this photograph is a rare and precious document of the past. It offers a glimpse into the lives of the people and animals of Hannover during this era, and provides a fascinating insight into the history of the Otterhound breed. This photograph is not only a beautiful work of art, but also a valuable historical record that tells a story of a bygone era.
