EDITORS COMMENTS
by A.E. Kennedy, 1918 This delightful illustration by A.E. Kennedy captures the joy and playful spirit of a classic canine pastime: Tug of War. Dated back to 1918, the image showcases a group of happy dogs engaged in an enthusiastic game of Tug of War. The print brings out the contrasting textures of their coats, from the sleek, glossy fur of the Labrador Retriever on the left, to the rough, shaggy coat of the terrier on the right. Their tails wag energetically as they strain against their ropes, their eyes focused intently on their opponents. The expression on their faces is one of pure enjoyment and determination, as they battle it out for dominance. The background is simple, with just a few trees and a patch of grass, allowing the focus to remain on the dogs and their game. A.E. Kennedy's masterful use of shading and line work adds depth and dimension to the image, making it feel alive and dynamic. The artist's ability to capture the unique personalities of each dog is truly remarkable, making this print a must-have for any dog lover or art collector. This charming illustration is a testament to the enduring appeal of Tug of War as a game that brings joy to dogs and their human companions alike. It is a reminder of the simple pleasures in life and the bond that exists between man and man's best friend.
