EDITORS COMMENTS
In this chromolitho print, we see a heartwarming scene of a loyal dog howling to call for help. The setting is a snowy landscape, where a young boy has collapsed and lies unconscious in the freezing cold. The dog, a collie with its fur covered in snowflakes, stands beside him with its head tilted back, emitting an urgent cry into the winter air. This powerful illustration comes from Bubbles, edited by Dr Barnardo and published in London in 1902. It beautifully captures the theme of fidelity and loyalty between humans and animals. The image evokes feelings of compassion as we witness the dog's desperate attempt to summon assistance for its fallen companion. The composition is rich in detail; we can see a small cottage illuminated by lantern light nearby. A flag flutters atop the dwelling, suggesting that help may be found within. The use of color adds depth to the scene - vibrant hues against the white backdrop create contrast and draw attention to both figures. This early twentieth-century lithograph serves as a reminder of our interconnectedness with nature and highlights the selflessness displayed by animals towards their human counterparts. It symbolizes hope amidst adversity and showcases the enduring bond between man and his faithful companions.
