The Square Book of Animals: The British Bull-Dog

William Nicholson

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a brown and black illustration of a British Bulldog. The dog is shown standing on all fours, facing left. The dog has a wrinkled face, a flat nose, and a distinctive underbite. Its body is muscular and sturdy, with a broad chest and well-sprung ribs. The dog's front legs are slightly bent, and its back legs are straight. The background of the image is black, with a brown floor visible beneath the dog's paws. The illustration is framed by a beige border. The image appears to be created using a woodcut or linocut technique.
