Vero Shaw

Vero Shaw produced wonderful portraits of dogs set against the British countryside for the famous 'Book of The Dog", published by Cassell in London the late 1800s. Shaw's illustrations are some of the finest pictures of dogs. His work included the first color illustrations of many breeds, such as the Bedlington Terrier, Dandie Dinmont Terrier, Irish Terrier, Yorkshire Terrier, Fox Terrier, Pug, Italian Greyhound, Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Irish Water Spaniel, Dachshund, Basset Hounds and Retriever. The last part of the nineteenth century was the time when wonderful chromolithographs were being produced in England and these prints are excellent examples of the process.
