EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The fight between Macaire and the dog of Montargis" takes us back to a thrilling moment in history. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print captures a scene from Arthur Griffiths' book "Mysteries of Police and Crime". Intriguingly, we witness a fierce battle between two formidable opponents: Macaire, a notorious criminal, and the courageous dog of Montargis.
