Bonzo Sells a Pup
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a charming and nostalgic image by renowned British artist George Ernest Studdy, depicting the beloved canine character Bonzo overseeing the sale of one of his offspring. The scene takes place on a Great Western Railway (GWR) platform at Lone Bridge, Dartmoor, where Bonzo and his five Bonzoline companions sit comfortably in a basket. One pup, with a "Sold" notice around its neck and a sad, bewildered expression, stands separately, ready to embark on its new journey. Bonzo, a small dog with saucer-like eyes and an indiscriminate breed, first graced the pages of The Sketch in 1922. The Bonzo craze that ensued was a global phenomenon, leading to an outpouring of merchandise, including postcards, annuals, toys, and more. In this image, Bonzo, dressed in a lead, harness, and muzzle, seems to be overseeing the sale with a mix of pride and sadness. The pup, crying and looking back at its mother and siblings, is understandably unhappy about the separation. The railway station, with its leaden sky and somber atmosphere, adds to the sense of melancholy. George Ernest Studdy's skillful brushstrokes and attention to detail bring this poignant moment to life, capturing the essence of the Bonzo phenomenon and the emotions of the human-canine bond. This photograph is a testament to the enduring appeal of Bonzo and the nostalgia of the 1920s.
