Sir Edwin Landseer (1802–1873) was a renowned British artist celebrated for his romantic and highly detailed portrayals of animals, often imbued with human emotion and symbolism. His works were widely admired in Victorian England, not only as original paintings but also through fine engravings that brought his art to a broader public. Among his notable engraving collaborators was Charles Mottram, a skilled British engraver known for his intricate and expressive technique. Mottram’s engravings of Landseer’s works, such as The Sanctuary, faithfully captured the dramatic intensity and sentimentality of the originals, playing a significant role in popularizing Landseer’s imagery across classes.
