EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming 1950s photograph, a young girl named Susi sits on the floor, engrossed in the pages of an old book. Her expression is a perfect blend of wonder and amusement as she gazes at an illustration of a playful puppy, its tongue lolling out in a classic "blue-ribbon" pose. Susi's own beloved pet, a spaniel, lies at her side, his head tilted curiously as he watches her intently. The scene is set in a cozy, sunlit room, with bookshelves filled to the brim with volumes of all shapes and sizes. The spines of some are worn and faded, bearing the marks of time and use, while others are still crisp and new. The atmosphere is one of quiet contentment and learning, as Susi explores the origins and species of various dogs, from the noble Darwin's breeds to the humorous Zola's illustrations. The illustration Susi is looking at is an engraving, its intricate lines and shading bringing the adorable pup to life on the page. The book's yellowed pages and frayed edges speak to its age and the many hands that have turned its pages before her. Susi's connection to the illustration is palpable, as she bridges the gap between the past and the present, and forms a bond with the pup through the medium of the book. This heartwarming photograph captures the essence of a simpler time, when the joys of discovery and the companionship of a faithful pet could be found in the pages of a well-loved book.
