EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the elegance and grace of Champion Aswan of Ruritania, a Saluki dog, in the prime of his glory during the autumn season of 1933. Owned by the esteemed Miss Doxford, this majestic canine was the champion grandson of Kelb, a renowned Saluki lineage, and was made up in the year 1930. The Saluki, also known as the Persian Greyhound, is an ancient breed originating from the Middle East, renowned for its slender and agile build, long ears, and distinctive feathered tail. Champion Aswan of Ruritania embodies the essence of this breed, with his sleek coat shimmering in the autumn sunlight and his piercing gaze fixed on the horizon. The autumn leaves, with their vibrant hues of red, orange, and gold, provide a stunning backdrop to this regal portrait. The crisp air and changing colors of the season add to the sense of tranquility and beauty, making for a truly enchanting scene. Miss Doxford, an accomplished breeder and lover of Salukis, took great pride in her champion dog. The bond between the two is evident in this photograph, with Miss Doxford's gentle touch on Aswan's head and the trusting look in his eyes. This photograph is a testament to the timeless allure of the Saluki breed and the special connection between a dog and its owner. It also offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a simpler time when the joys of owning a beloved pet were cherished and celebrated.
