Bonzo Corner Ernest Letter Pillar Rain Raining Studdy Umbrella Umbrellas Valentine
EDITORS COMMENTS
George Ernest Studdy's beloved bulldog, Bonzo, is depicted in this charming vintage photograph as he tries to navigate the rainy streets with a red umbrella in hand. The image, originally published as Valentine postcard no. 2284, carries the caption "I can't go without you for long!" and dates back to the 1930s. Studdy, a renowned English painter and illustrator, was known for his humorous and heartwarming depictions of animals, particularly his canine companion Bonzo. In this scene, Bonzo stands at a corner, his paws on a letter box or post, as he struggles to open the red umbrella with his mouth. The rain pelts down, creating puddles on the pavement, and a lamppost stands tall in the background, casting a warm glow on the wet scene. The red umbrella, a symbol of protection and companionship, adds a pop of color to the otherwise monochromatic rainy day. This photograph captures the playful spirit of Bonzo and the whimsical charm of the 1930s, making it a delightful addition to any collection of historical images.
