EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and lively print captures the essence of the Our National Dog Show in 1883. The color lithograph, created by Bernard Gillam, showcases a multitude of dog breeds competing for glory. At the Judges Stand in the upper left corner, prominent newspaper editors such as James Gordon Bennett, Whitelaw Reid, Murat Halstead, Charles A. Dana, Henry Watterson, and George W. Curtis can be seen meticulously judging two dogs: Winfield Scott Hancock and Samuel J. Tilden. The artwork humorously portrays various other dogs with amusing names like Sesquipedalian Sleuth Hound Evarts, Mulligan Mongrel, Rossa Runt (cautioned as dangerous), Lap Dogs Monopoly Breed; along with political figures including Chester A. Arthur, William Mahone, Thomas C. Platt, Roscoe Conkling; and notable personalities like David Davis and Ulysses S. Grant. Amongst this canine chaos stands Pucks entry Cleveland - S. Low at the center of attention. This image not only highlights the diversity of dog breeds but also subtly reflects on political figures and their associations during that era. With its vivid colors and intricate detailing capturing every aspect of this grand event from over a century ago, this print serves as a fascinating historical artifact that offers viewers an insight into both popular culture and politics during 1883 America
