Note: Some may be
other terriers or products
of the artists imagination. Many cards and tins do not state the breed
of the dog.
The term Fox Terrier had a very broad
meaning from the early 1800's to the 1900's. Many
working terriers had a more Jack Russell Terrier appearance and would
not have fit the Fox Terrier breed show standard, but were still
referred to as a "fox terrier".
A distinctive "terrier character" is
frequently
depicted to add interest or drama to some pictures. This terrier was mostly
white, with black or
tan patches, and short turned-down ears. A broad breed
interpretation may have been intended, for the purpose of having
a more widespread appeal.
The best representations of Jack Russell
Terriers are in the postcards that are copies of Painters from the mid
19th Century and early 20th Century.
JRT's
permeate many images, even those depicting other breeds or subjects.
There are many examples of this in John Emms paintings, where
studies of Fox Hounds, for example, will show a singular Jack Russell
in their company.
From such depictions it becomes apparent that
the Jack Russell Terrier was very much part of the landscape in Rural
England in the last 200 years.
