Competition Dog Show Dresses Hats Pedigree Pets Pointing Shorts Genthe Collection

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken between 1933 and 1942 by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe, transports us back in time to the picturesque town of East Hampton on Long Island, New York. The image showcases the excitement and charm of a local dog show, where proud pet owners and their beloved canine companions come together to celebrate the rich heritage of pedigree breeds. Genthe masterfully captures the essence of the era with his nitrate negative technique, which adds a timeless quality to the scene. In the foreground, a young girl in a floral dress and shorts gestures excitedly towards her dog, a Collie with a regal posture and piercing gaze. Her hat-wearing companion, a boy in a collared shirt and trousers, points towards the ring where a competition is underway. The scene is filled with an air of friendly competition, as men and women in various apparel and hats gather around, some clapping and cheering, while others engage in animated conversation. The diverse array of dogs, each with their unique coat patterns and expressions, add to the vibrant energy of the event. This photograph is a testament to the enduring bond between humans and their pets, as well as the rich fashion heritage of the 1930s. The image is part of the extensive Arnold Genthe Collection held at the Library of Congress, a treasure trove of American history and culture.
