| Antique Print Dog ArtExquisite high quality steel engraving from one of Victorian England's most well loved animal painters, Edwin Landseer. From an extremely rare British book. Entitled, "A Friend in Suspense", this beautiful, high quality, engraving features a Newfoundland waiting at the door to his master's study. Absolutely wonderful. "This noble dog, may be justly styled the friend and guardian of his master - none surely more faithful, or so fully possessed of the instinctive desire to save human life. By the drops of blood on the floor of this picture, the dog's master must have been carried wounded through the room in which the scene lies to that beyond. The earnest, piercing look in the dog's eyes is worthy of all admiration: his is a noble sorrow nobly borne. Those who have the good fortune to possess an animal of this kind cannot fail to notice how wonderfully real is the attitude in which the dog is drawn." "A Friend in Suspense" was painted in 1834.
