Credit: Bernard Waber (USA, 1921-2013). Snippet of canine representation in the children’s book Bernard, (Boston: Houghton Mifflin, 1982). A resonant image, in a book about divorce, for many of us.
Credit: Hans Lützelburger (German, 1495?-1526) after designs by Hans Holbein the Younger (German/Swiss, 1497/8-1543). Images of Death, c. 1526, woodcuts. Details from Creation of Eve and Fall (Temptation of Adam) including canine representation. I am not sure how a dog could be present at the creation of Eve.
