EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a remarkable moment of skill and agility. In the frame, an Alsatian dog is seen performing an impressive trick, effortlessly leaping over a man who holds his hat high in the air. The image exudes a sense of excitement and wonder as the canine showcases its incredible abilities. Taken by an English photographer in the 20th century, this photograph belongs to a private collection. It was originally featured as an illustration for "The Clever Animals Picture Book" published by Ward Lock around 1945. The snapshot offers us a glimpse into the past, specifically the mid-1940s when attitudes towards animals were often exploitative. The composition is strikingly composed with great attention to detail. The man holding a walking stick adds to the historical context of the image while emphasizing both human-animal interaction and intelligence. This peculiar scene challenges our perception of what animals are capable of achieving through training and highlights their cleverness. As we admire this extraordinary display, it's important to reflect upon how our understanding and treatment of animals have evolved over time. This photograph serves as a reminder that even in earlier decades, humans recognized and celebrated animal talents, albeit sometimes exploiting them for entertainment purposes. Overall, this print not only showcases exceptional talent but also invites contemplation on our relationship with animals throughout history – prompting us to appreciate their unique abilities while considering ethical considerations surrounding their exploitation.
