*The pride of the harbor* presents a dog as the proud guardian of a waterfront, a theme that suited New York in the 1870s, when dogs often kept watch around ships, wharves, and warehouses. The print is credited to H. Breul and published by H. Schile at 36 Division Street, with a date of about 1874 that places it among the inexpensive prints sold to a broad public who enjoyed sentimental animal pictures. Notice how the harbor setting suggests loyalty and local pride, qualities that made such images popular with sailors and their families.
