The handsome intaglio setter depicted against a red sunset reminds us of the old nautical saying, "Red sky at night, sailor's delight," meaning smooth sailing ahead. But with our special interest in Civil War dogs, it naturally reminds us of these two wonderful hunting dogs with their officers aboard the US gunboat Miami. You can see the full scene in the original 1861 photo here, at the Library of Congress:https://www.loc.gov/item/2013647359/.
