EDITORS COMMENTS
This delightful illustration by renowned British artist Cecil Aldin captures the joyful anticipation of four dogs as they eagerly await their daily walk. The scene is set in the 1920s, as evidenced by the period clothing and the old-fashioned sign in the background, which reads "Walkies this way." The dogs, a Bull Terrier named Micky and three other unidentified terriers, are shown sitting on the pavement, their tails wagging and their ears perked up, as they gaze intently at the sign. The largest of the terriers, Cracker, sits at the front, his eyes fixed on the sign with an expression of pure excitement. Behind him, Micky and the other dogs join in the anticipation, their bodies tense with eagerness. The illustration is reminiscent of the charming character of Aldin's work, which often featured dogs and other animals in humorous and heartwarming situations. This image is a testament to the enduring bond between dogs and their human companions, and the simple joy of a walk in the fresh air." "Cecil Aldin (1881-1935) was a prolific British illustrator, known for his depictions of dogs, horses, and other animals. He began his career as a commercial artist, but soon gained a reputation for his humorous and sentimental illustrations, which were published in magazines, books, and calendars. This particular illustration was created in 1927, and is a beloved classic of dog lovers and collectors of vintage illustration.
