EDITORS COMMENTS
This delightful illustration by Cecil Aldin, titled "Crackers: Dog Show Inventions," showcases a series of humorous and inventive devices designed to streamline the process of preparing and presenting dogs at dog shows, apologies to the legendary Heath Robinson. In this charming scene from 1927, Aldin imagines a world where mechanical brushes smooth the coat of a Scotch Collie, a vacuum cleaner-like contraption pampering a Pomeranian's pompom, and an air suction device improving the appearance of the Kerry Blue Terrier's beard. Crackers, the ingenious inventor, aims to eliminate the need for professional human handlers at dog shows with his array of innovative equipment. The illustration is filled with humor and character, transporting us back to the 1920s and the unique charm of the era. This image is a testament to the enduring appeal of dogs and the creative spirit of the time, making it a must-have for any dog lover or history buff's collection.
