Excerpt from Landseer
Sir edwin landseer discovered the dog, or at least perceived and revealed to the world unknown traits of the canine character, and gave new and nobler ideas thereof to all anglo-saxondom. In the great mines of Art, worked over by myriads for half a millennium, he sought out an untouched lode and happily found and explored it, to the perennial delight of unnumbered peoples, from the palaces of smoky and magnificent London to the shepherd-huts of remote Colorado and Australia. No artist, from the days of Giotto to those of Mil lais, has become so quickly and universally famous by means of countless reproductions of his works, scattered broadcast, as they are, through all the wide continents and islands where the language of Shakespeare and Macaulay pursues its conquering way.
