EDITORS COMMENTS
Cecil Aldin's Illustration: The Mischievous Irish Wolfhound Biddy and the Goats (1927) This illustration by renowned English artist Cecil Aldin, dated 1927, showcases the playful yet mischievous nature of an Irish wolfhound named Biddy. The scene unfolds as Biddy, with her powerful and agile build, leaps into action, attacking a group of unsuspecting goats. Her sharp teeth are clenched around the neck of one goat, while her eyes gleam with excitement and determination. The goats, taken aback by the sudden attack, scatter in all directions, their horns raised in defense. Biddy, a character from Aldin's popular series of dog illustrations, was known for her naughty antics and boundless energy. This illustration, with its lively composition and vivid details, perfectly encapsulates the spirit of Biddy and her love for misbehaving. The scene is set in the rolling hills of the Irish countryside, with the sun casting long shadows and the withers of the goats and the fur of the wolfhound blending seamlessly into the golden hues of the landscape. This illustration is a testament to the rich history of dog illustrations in the 1920s, a time when the love for dogs and their antics was a popular theme in literature and art. Cecil Aldin's work, with its charming characters and lively scenes, continues to captivate audiences and inspire a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era.
