EDITORS COMMENTS
Caesar, a Wire Fox Terrier, was a cherished companion to King Edward VII during his reign from 1901 to 1910. This photograph, taken in the early 20th century, showcases the deep bond between man and his faithful canine friend. King Edward, known for his love of hunting and dogs, was particularly fond of Caesar, who was often seen by his side at various royal engagements and events. The Wire Fox Terrier breed, with its distinctive wiry coat and alert, intelligent expression, gained immense popularity during this time due in part to Caesar's influence. The breed's agility, courage, and tenacity made it an ideal companion for hunting foxes, a favorite pastime of the king and many aristocrats. In this image, Caesar sits proudly on a velvet cushion, his piercing eyes fixed on the camera lens, as if daring it to capture his essence. His coat, meticulously groomed and well-maintained, shines in the soft light, highlighting the intricate texture of his wiry fur. The king's love for Caesar is evident in the tender expression on his face as he gazes down at his beloved pet. This photograph is a testament to the deep connection between Caesar and King Edward VII, a bond that transcended the boundaries of royalty and commoner, human and canine. It serves as a reminder of a bygone era, when dogs were not just pets but cherished members of the family and integral parts of the lives of the British monarchy.
