EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph from 1901, the renowned English dog judge, Cecil Legard, is seen in the prime of his career, accompanied by a majestic foxhound. The image captures the essence of the golden age of dog shows in Britain, an era of great passion and dedication to the art of breeding and exhibiting canines. Cecil Legard (1863-1933) was a noted figure in the world of dogs, having judged numerous shows both in the UK and abroad. His expertise and knowledge of various breeds were highly respected, and he was a key figure in shaping the standards of many breeds during the late Victorian and early Edwardian periods. The foxhound at his side is a testament to the deep connection between man and dog during this time. Foxhounds were, and still are, a popular breed for hunting, and their sleek coats, powerful build, and keen sense of smell made them formidable companions for hunters. In this photograph, the foxhound's alert and focused expression adds to the overall sense of energy and excitement. The setting of the photograph is not explicitly stated, but the formal attire of Cecil Legard suggests that this may have been taken at a dog show or exhibition. The backdrop of the image, with its lush greenery and open sky, further emphasizes the connection between the natural world and the world of dogs. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of dog shows and the important role that figures like Cecil Legard played in shaping the breeds we know and love today. It is a reminder of the rich history and tradition that surrounds the world of dogs, and the deep bond that exists between man and canine companion.
