Newfs in Art


This page lists all artworks I have found in which Newfoundland dogs appear — as well as a number of images which only may be of Newfoundland dogs.
(Fair warning: I prefer to err on the side of "remote possibility.")

Some of the images here are not fine art but illustrations found in various works of natural history, sporting history, or other publications, and as those images also appear in the "Literature / Non-Fiction" section of this website, clicking on those links below will take you to the "literature" page which features the particular image.

My intention is to include here all Newfoundland images I encounter, including many that only possibly may depict Newfs or Newf mixes, in the interest of collecting in one place a chronological record, as complete as I can make it, of the visual representation of the Newfoundland.
