EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting photograph, published in The Sketch magazine on the 19th of December 1928, offers a rare glimpse into the private world of celebrated British painter Cecil Aldin. The image captures Aldin at home in Purley, surrounded by his beloved dogs, Mickey the Irish wolfhound and Cracker, the bull-terrier. The artist, known for his distinctive paintings of dogs and country scenes, is seen in a relaxed and unguarded moment, dressed in casual attire and smoking a pipe. The presence of his loyal companions adds a touch of warmth and homeliness to the scene. The 1920s, also known as the Jazz Age or the Roaring Twenties, was a period of great social and cultural change. Society was becoming more modern and urban, yet the appeal of the countryside and traditional values remained strong, as reflected in Aldin's work. The publication of this photograph in The Sketch, a leading society and celebrity magazine of the time, underscores the popularity and appeal of Aldin and his art. The photograph not only provides a glimpse into the life of a renowned artist but also offers a fascinating insight into the social and cultural context of the 1920s. It serves as a reminder of a bygone era and the enduring appeal of the simple pleasures of home and companionship.
