Two St. Bernard dogs in snow beside an unconscious man; one wears a red saddle cloth and the other sniffs his head near dark rocks.

Two St. Bernard dogs find an injured man, while one tries to revive him the other alerts the rescue party of his presence. Chromolithograph after E. Landseer, 1860/1880.

Two St. Bernard dogs in a snowy alpine landscape attend to a man lying face down in the snow. One dog, draped with a red cloth, stands above and gazes outward, while the other bends low to nuzzle the man's head beside a dark rock face. This colour chromolithograph after Edwin Landseer shows the scene in deep snow.

Español: Dos perros San Bernardo rescatan a un hombre herido en la nieve

Dos perros San Bernardo en un paisaje nevado de montaña atienden a un hombre tendido boca abajo sobre la nieve. Uno de ellos, cubierto con una tela roja, permanece de pie y mira hacia afuera, mientras el otro se inclina para olfatear la cabeza del hombre junto a una pared de roca oscura. Esta cromolitografía en color, según Edwin Landseer, muestra la escena entre nieve profunda.
