EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, renowned British animal and dog artist, Cecil Aldin (1874-1935), is seen aboard a ship with his beloved dogs and his daughter, Mrs. Mason, as they embark on a journey to Majorca in 1932. The artist had moved to the Mediterranean island in search of better health and the warmer climate. Among the group of canine companions that accompanied him are some of his most famous subjects: Micky the Irish Wolfhound, Cracker the Bull Terrier, and Woggles the Sealyham Terrier. The image captures the excitement and anticipation of the journey, as the dogs, with their keen senses and inquisitive natures, explore the ship and take in the new sights, sounds, and smells. The artist's daughter, Mrs. Mason, looks on with a loving smile, her arms wrapped around her father's waist, as she watches over her father and his faithful friends. Cecil Aldin was known for his ability to capture the unique personalities and expressions of dogs in his artwork. The dogs in this photograph, particularly Micky, Cracker, and Woggles, would go on to become some of his most iconic subjects. The photograph serves as a testament to the deep bond between the artist and his animals, and the joy they brought to each other's lives. The sun-soaked backdrop of Majorca, with its clear blue waters and picturesque landscapes, provided an endless source of inspiration for Aldin. The artist's time on the island would result in a series of beautiful and enduring works that continue to delight animal lovers and art enthusiasts around the world. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the personal life of a beloved artist and his faithful companions, as they embark on a new adventure together.
