EDITORS COMMENTS
A Timeless Tale of Canine Companionship: Cecil Aldin's 'Inspector Counting Hounds' Step back in time with this enchanting illustration by renowned English artist Cecil Aldin, dating back to the 1920s. The scene unfolds at a bustling kennel, where an Excise Officer is attempting to count the sixty hound couples present, each couple representing a pair of foxhounds. The year is 1927, an era when dog licences were a necessary requirement. The illustration captures the essence of the 1920s, with its charming characterization and intricate attention to detail. The Excise Officer, dressed in his formal attire, is surrounded by an energetic and playful sea of foxhounds, all eagerly moving around, making his task of counting a challenging one. The illustration is a testament to the close bond between man and dog, as well as the rich history of foxhunting and the role of the kennel in the community. Cecil Aldin's 'Inspector Counting Hounds' is a delightful glimpse into the past, offering a charming and nostalgic look at a bygone era. The illustration is a reminder of the joy and companionship that dogs bring into our lives and the importance of cherishing these moments. This beautiful piece of art is not only a historical document but also a tribute to the enduring bond between man and his canine companion.
