EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "The Missis," dates back to the early 1900s and captures the essence of American country life during that era. The image features a charming woman, dressed in her Sunday best, standing next to her faithful dog. The woman, with a direct gaze and a hint of a smile, wears a high-necked blouse and a voluminous skirt, accessorized with a large hat adorned with flowers. Her dog, dressed in a tiny jacket and collar, gazes up at her with an expression of unwavering loyalty and affection. The photograph, a dry plate negative taken by an unknown photographer, was published by Detroit Publishing Company, adding to its historical significance. The company, known for its extensive collection of American landscapes and cityscapes, also produced a number of portraits, including this one. The concept of anthropomorphism is evident in the way the dog is depicted, dressed up and posing alongside its owner. The use of comedy and humor is also evident, as the sight of a woman and her dog both dressed up in their finest attire is sure to bring a smile to the viewer's face. This photograph is a testament to the close bond between humans and their pets, as well as the fashion trends and cultural norms of the early 1900s in the United States. It is now part of the extensive collection of the Library of Congress, a reminder of the rich heritage and history of America's past.
