Canis Major and Lepus (Large Dog and Hare)

One of 16 individual prints featuring animal myths and legends of London as star constellations. The 16 images can be displayed together to create a single wall art feature, or as individual prints.

The ghost image of the River Thames in the background of many of the images links them all together (inspired by how the milky way is often depicted in antique star constellation prints).

Canis Major and Lepus (Large Dog and Hare) features Mick the Miller, London’s favourite greyhound who raced at White City 1929-1931 (now to be found at Tring Natural History Musuem), and The Wonderful Hare who entertained Londoners in the 1780’s by playing the tambourine.
