EDITORS COMMENTS
Cecil Aldin's delightful illustration from 'The Mongrel Puppy Book,' published in 1912, captures the playful spirit and boundless curiosity of a young white mongrel terrier named Chump. In this charming scene, Chump, with his pointed ears perked up and a mischievous glint in his eyes, helps himself to an afternoon tea party. He stands on his hind legs, reaching up to the cake stand with his front paws, as if to claim a sweet treat for himself. The expression on his face is one of unabashed joy and satisfaction, as if he's fully confident in his ability to join the humans in their refined pastime. The illustration is a testament to Aldin's exceptional talent for capturing the essence of dogs and their personalities. Chump's shaggy white coat, rosy nose, and expressive eyes are rendered with exquisite detail, making him a beloved character in this timeless image. The illustration also showcases the artist's mastery of light and shadow, as the warm afternoon sunlight filters through the room, casting gentle shadows on the walls and adding depth and texture to the scene. This illustration is a delightful reminder of the simple pleasures of life and the unbreakable bond between humans and their canine companions. It is a charming snapshot of a bygone era, transporting us back to the 1910s and inviting us to appreciate the playful antics of a mongrel terrier named Chump.
