EDITORS COMMENTS
In this black and white lithograph from the 19th century, we see a dog fixated on a restaurant sign advertising meat chops. The anthropomorphic portrayal of the canine's hunger is both amusing and relatable. This illustration, taken from The Boys Own Annual, showcases the creativity and wit of English School artists during this era. The collie dog in the image appears to be guarding the entrance to the restaurant, eagerly eyeing up the tantalizing sign that promises delicious food. Its puppy-like expression conveys an undeniable sense of longing for a taste of those succulent meat chops. This artwork not only captures a moment in history but also reflects our timeless fascination with food and its power to tempt even our furry friends. It serves as a reminder that animals too have their desires and cravings. The detailed lithograph technique adds depth and texture to this charming scene, transporting us back to London in 1893/1894. Through this piece, we can appreciate how advertising has always played a role in enticing customers through clever signage. Whether you're an animal lover or simply enjoy historical illustrations, this print is sure to bring joy and nostalgia into your home or office space.
