EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this enchanting illustration from the 1920s, featuring an old and wise fox dog intently scratching at the ground. Dated 1926, this image is taken from the pages of an old children's book published by Aldine Press. The illustration, created by the talented Cecil, perfectly encapsulates the essence of the 1920s, with its rich, warm colors and intricate details. The old fox dog, with his scarlet red coat and piercing eyes, is deep in concentration as he scratches at the earth, searching for a hidden hole or den. His age is evident in the wrinkles on his face and the gray in his muzzle, yet his determination and focus are as strong as ever. This image evokes a sense of nostalgia for a simpler time, when life moved at a slower pace and the natural world held a greater allure. The illustration also serves as a reminder of the rich history of fox hunting and ratcatching, practices that were popular during the 1920s. Foxhounds, like the one depicted here, were bred specifically for their ability to track and hunt foxes, while ratcatchers were valued for their skills in controlling rodent populations. This image offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the connection between humans and animals that has existed for generations. Overall, this beautiful illustration is a must-have for anyone with an interest in history, the natural world, or the charm of the 1920s. It is a reminder of the enduring bond between man and his faithful canine companions, and the importance of cherishing the simple pleasures of life.
