This is an antique print of a St. Bernard in the Swiss Alps. The original frame measures 19″ x 23″ . There are signs of age on both the frame and print. The St. Bernard is a very large breed of working dog from the Swiss Alps, originally bred for rescue. The breed has become famous through tales of alpine rescues, as well as for its large size. St. Bernards are often portrayed wearing small barrels of brandy around their necks. The brandy was supposedly used to warm the victims that the dogs found.
At the bottom of the print partially covered by the frame it reads: Copyright 1902 by L.M. Johnson
