PLATE XXI.
Neptune, Painted by E. Landseer, Engraved by T. Landseer.

A beautiful and highly characteristic engraving of a favourite Newfoundland Dog. It is engraved by Mr. Thomas Landseer from a drawing by his brother Edwin, and highly admired as a faithful likeness of the original.

PLATE XXII.
Brutus, Painted by E. Landseer, Engraved by T. Landseer.

The property of Edwin Landseer, Esq. Good judges may at once perceive in this portrait the points that constitute a thorough good one of the breed. Rough, wiry and strong, with eyes almost concealed, Brutus is yet active, vigilant and courageous, possessing in great perfection the qualities most desirable in the terrier.

PLATE XXIII.
A cross of the Dog and Fox, Painted by E. Landseer, Engraved by T. Landseer.

The subject of this fine engraving had occasioned much doubt in the minds of naturalists, but the question as to its reality was decided, by the fact of the animal whose portrait we give, having been produced from a tan terrier bitch and a tame dog fox.

PLATE XXIV.
Dogs setting a Hare, Painted by E. Landseer, Engraved by T. Landseer.

Two dogs having caught the side wind of a hare are making a highly characteristic point. Nothing can more forcibly express that mute animation which gives so highly-toned a finish to the abilities of the setting dog as this vigorous and faithful delineation of their countenances. The Pointer is placed in a very interesting attitude admirably contrasted with the well chosen position of the setter his companion; while the hare, the object of their attraction, is not only judiciously placed, but the representation is strikingly true to nature. This representation of dogs setting a hare displays not only a correct knowledge of the subject but is one of those faithful delineations that cannot fail to merit the most unqualified approbation.

A thorough-bred Scottish terrier, a favourite portrait by Mr. Edwin Landseer who has repeated her in several of his pictures.

PLATE XXVI.
Fox Hounds of the Hatfield Hunt, Painted by E. Landseer, Engraved by T. Landseer.

This sketch contains portraits of five of the principal fox hounds belonging to the above Hunt.

PLATE XXVII.
Proctor, Painted by E. Landseer, Engraved by T. Landseer.

Study of a head of a Blood-hound. This engraving is of a very celebrated dog, and the character of its peculiar species is well delineated.

PLATE XXVIII.
Bob, a favourite Terrier, Painted by E. Landseer, Engraved by T. Landseer.

This engraving represents a fine wire-haired specimen of his race, engaged in his favourite pursuit in his native wilds.

PLATE XXIX.
The Poacher, Painted by E. Landseer, Engraved by T. Landseer.

Is not one of those who

to pop pheasants from their perches with an air gun, or who sets “springes to catch woodcocks,” but it is he who

“The wily Fox,” and a very beautiful animal Mr. Landseer has made of him. The description we have quoted, finds in the picture an apt illustration.

The drawing from which the present plate was engraved, was made from a very noble Alpine mastiff, which at that time although not full grown, was the largest dog in England.

PLATE XXXI.
Old Dog, looks like a picture, Painted by E. Landseer, Engraved by J. Webb.

An expressive picture, which betokens the subject, old in honour and years, and still following his favourite pursuit.

PLATE XXXII.
Fight between Jacko and Puss, Sketched and Etched by T. Landseer.

The animals here so cleverly represented, and at the spot of their actual and sanguinary contest, were etched by T. Landseer, from a sketch made at the time by himself.

PLATE XXXIII.
Little Billy, drawn and engraved by T. Landseer.

The spirited and faithful style in which Mr. Landseer has executed this embellishment, presents us a portrait of a species of animal which was a great favourite with our ancestors, and was as ferocious to an enemy as faithful to a friend.

PLATE XXXIV.
Black Cap, Painted by G. H. Laporte, Engraved by T. Landseer.

Is a clever specimen of a perfect Harrier’s head, ably treated.

PLATE XXXV.
Dead Red Deer, Painted by E. Landseer, Engraved by J. R. Scott.

Gives us the spoils of the chase lifeless and rigid; the accessories to the picture are well told.

Tigers are hunted in India by Elephants assisted by fleet horses. We have in this clever picture a Tiger couching amongst the jungle seemingly undetermined whether to spring or to make off, the horse scared and frightened evidently has come upon him unexpectedly; an Elephant at a little distance is hastening towards the spot.

PLATE XXXVII.
Tiger taking the water, Painted by Sir Charles D’Oyly, Engraved by T. Landseer.

The Tiger having been driven from the jungle and hunted over the plain, as a last resort takes to the water. He is here represented just after having entered, his powerful paws half above the water preparing to make a stroke, whilst his tail stiff and outstretched serves the purpose of a rudder. The hunters on their elephants from the bank of the river are taking a deliberate aim at him.

PLATE XXXVIII.
Elephants returning from the Hunt, Painted by Sir Charles D’Oyly, Engraved by T. Landseer.

The Hunter seemingly tired of hunting on horseback has dismounted, and is climbing up the side of an elephant who kneels, whilst the fruit of the chase is upon the back of another, and a third is making his way through the jungle.

PLATE XXXIX.
Red Deer, Painted by R. Hills, Engraved by T. Landseer.

A very clever work of Art upon which the great and universally acknowledged taste and talents of Mr. Thomas Landseer have been carefully bestowed. Both Painter and Engraver have done justice to the subject; few things can be finer than the stag in the foreground, or more effective than the brace of Does approaching upwards, as it were, from a romantic and obscure retirement.
