EDITORS COMMENTS
Cecil Aldin's 'Cracker and Bogie' is a charming yet mischievous illustration from the 1920s that captures the playful energy and bond between two dogs. In this delightful scene, a Bull Terrier named Cracker is shown subjecting a smaller dog, Bogie, to a nightly ordeal. With a gleam in his eye and a determined grip in his jaws, Cracker holds Bogie's collar and drags her round the lawn, leaving her playfully struggling on her back. The illustration, created by celebrated English artist Cecil Aldin in 1927, is a testament to the rough and tumble play that was common among dogs during the 1920s. The era, known for its carefree spirit and love for pets, is reflected in the fun and enjoyment depicted in this illustration. Bull Terriers, with their muscular build and distinctive appearance, were a popular breed during this time. Cracker's energetic and boisterous demeanor is typical of the breed, making him a beloved character in Aldin's work. Bogie, a small, unnamed breed, adds to the dynamic of the illustration, providing a contrast in size and agility. The historical significance of this illustration lies not only in its portrayal of pet ownership during the 1920s but also in the work of Cecil Aldin himself. Aldin was a prolific illustrator, known for his depictions of dogs and country life. His work was featured in numerous books and publications, making him a household name in the world of illustration. 'Cracker and Bogie' is a delightful snapshot of a bygone era, showcasing the playful antics and enduring bond between two dogs. It is a reminder of the joy and fun that pets bring into our lives, and the special moments that we share with them.
