British Identity at the V&A: Bashaw
The V&A's director looks at the relationship between industry and the dog sculpture
What can Bashaw, ‘the faithful friend of man,’ tell us about industrial revolution in Victorian England? In the fourth part of our series on British identity, the director of the Victoria and Albert Museum, Tristram Hunt, explores industry's role in Britain's identity. Each day, he will choose a piece from the V&A's collection which reveals something about British identity.
