EDITORS COMMENTS
In this delightful illustration by Cecil Aldin, titled "The Snob," we are transported back to the early 1900s and the aristocratic neighborhood of Belgravia, London. The scene depicts a young girl named Sybil, who, with a mischievous glint in her eye, is hosting a dinner party for her beloved dogs. The table is laden with fine dishes, each one more enticing than the last, and the canine guests are eagerly awaiting their turn to dine. However, the tranquility of the scene is disrupted when a smaller dog approaches the large dish of food, unaware of the impending danger. Fluffikins, a large and imposing dog, perceives the smaller dog's approach as a threat to his privileged status and attacks him with a fierce growl. Sybil, who had been observing the scene with amusement, steps in to separate the two dogs, exclaiming, "I had nearly bolted him before they parted us." This charming illustration, created in 1904, is a delightful snapshot of a misspent youth, where the company of dogs takes precedence over human companionship. The intricate details of the illustration, from the ornate table setting to the expressive faces of the dogs, transport us back in time and offer a glimpse into the whimsical world of Cecil Aldin and the Episodes of a Dog. This illustration is a testament to Aldin's exceptional talent for capturing the essence of the canine spirit and the human-animal bond.
