Description:
This irresistible celebration captures dogs in their finest moments, at the charming and idiosyncratic society dog shows of the 1930s and '40s, when both dogs and owners were at their dapper best. Culled from the collection of the late, renowned society photographer Bert Morgan, these exquisite duotone photographs (200 of them in all) evoke an era of refined leisure and graceful competition: eight-year-old Jacqueline Bouvier, Band-Aid on her knee, stands beaming on her front lawn with her enormous Great Dane; firehouse Dalmatians line up at the Westminster Kennel Club's annual show; and (alleged) descendants of Napoleon Bonaparte admire their distinguished pup. Elegant and intimate, the images portray dozens of breeds at home, being groomed, during judging, and receiving awards. Dog lovers, photographers, and society watchers alike will enjoy this fun evocation of canine derring-do and gilded-age glamour.
