HD10203 The Last Defender,
10.5" x 8.75", , , ,
Published in "The Portfolio" in 1893, with the following accompanying letterpress:-

"Dicksee's etching tells its own story. The Jacobean House and the seventeenth century pistol suggest the time of the Civil war. The assailants have forced their way to the room, and are now beating down a door behind which stands a bloodhound, ready to make a last stand for the King. The dog was drawn from a very fine animal, which belonged to the artist, and died last year."

This picture was published by C. Clifford & Co, in 1888, with 2 dogs on one piece of vellum, the other dog
being a Collie, under the title "Beauty and the Beast". It has often been split and, because of the placing of the two dogs, the margins of the individual prints can look odd and ill proportioned.

This was the first really big selling Dicksee print and although the Creswick paper prints were fairly numerous, they are getting rarer due to the enduring popularity of this image. The artists proofs are very hard to come by and consequently expensive.
