Bell Breed Brindle Bull Dog C1890
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, dated circa 1890, showcases the enduring charm of the Bulldog breed as depicted in this charming image of two fine specimens. The white Bulldog, with its distinctive wrinkled face and powerful build, stands proudly to the left, its collar adorned with an ornate bell. The brindle and white Bulldog on the right, with its distinctive coat pattern, gazes intently at its companion. The Bulldog breed, known for its distinctive appearance and tenacious spirit, has a rich history that dates back to ancient Greece and Rome. Originally bred for bull-baiting, Bulldogs were valued for their strength and tenacity. However, by the late 19th century, as public opinion turned against blood sports, the breed began to be bred for companionship instead. This photograph is a testament to the Bulldog's enduring popularity during this period. The use of collars with bells was a common practice during this time, as it allowed owners to keep track of their dogs, particularly in open fields or during hunting expeditions. The intricately designed collar on the white Bulldog adds an elegant touch to the image, highlighting the breed's status as a cherished companion animal. The two Bulldogs in this photograph exude a sense of calm and companionship, making it a delightful addition to any collection of historical dog photographs. This image offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the world of the Bulldog breed during the late 19th century and reminding us of the enduring bond between humans and their dogs.
