"Cur or Drovers Dog" is an illustration by the renowned 19th-century artist and naturalist Sydenham Teast Edwards. Edwards, born in 1768 in Usk, Monmouthshire, Wales, was a prolific illustrator known for his detailed and accurate depictions of animals and plants. His work significantly contributed to the fields of botany and zoology during a period when scientific illustration was crucial for the dissemination of knowledge.

The illustration "Cur or Drovers Dog" is part of Edwards' extensive body of work that often appeared in publications such as "The Botanical Magazine" and "The Cynographia Britannica." The latter, published in 1800, is a notable compendium of dog breeds, showcasing Edwards' talent in capturing the distinct characteristics and temperaments of various breeds. This particular illustration is a testament to his skill in rendering the physical attributes and essence of working dogs, which were integral to rural and agricultural life in Britain.

The term "cur" historically referred to a type of working dog, often of mixed breed, used by drovers to herd and manage livestock. These dogs were valued for their intelligence, stamina, and ability to work independently over long distances. Edwards' illustration not only highlights the physical traits of the drovers' dog but also reflects the importance of these animals in the daily lives of farmers and drovers during the 18th and 19th centuries.

Edwards' meticulous attention to detail and his ability to convey the practical and loyal nature of the drovers' dog make this illustration a significant piece of historical and artistic value. It provides insight into the breeds that were foundational to the development of modern herding dogs and underscores the symbiotic relationship between humans and animals in agricultural practices of the time.
