Oh, Carnarvon!: A Moment of Amazement as Bonzo Discovers a Treasured Trove of Egyptian Mummified Cats, by George Ernest Studdy (1923) In the vibrant and whimsical world of British satirical illustration, George Ernest Studdy's creation, Bonzo, a small dog with saucer-like eyes and an indiscriminate breed, captured the hearts and imaginations of people around the globe. First introduced in The Sketch in 1922, Bonzo's antics and adventures soon became a cultural phenomenon, leading to an avalanche of merchandise, including postcards, annuals, toys, and more. In this illustration, titled "Oh, Carnarvon!," Bonzo finds himself in the midst of an extraordinary archaeological discovery. Surrounded by the hallowed halls of an Egyptian museum, the curious canine's eyes widen with surprise and amazement as he stumbles upon a hidden chamber filled with mummified cats. The ancient felines, adorned with intricate golden collars and wrapped in linen bandages, gaze back at Bonzo with their glassy eyes, their stillness a stark contrast to the energetic and inquisitive nature of the intruder. The scene is set against the backdrop of the early 1920s, an era of fascination with all things ancient and exotic. The discovery of King Tutankhamun's tomb in 1922 had captivated the world, and the public's appetite for all things Egyptian was insatiable. Studdy masterfully captures the spirit of the times, combining the wonder of archaeological discovery with the playful antics of his beloved Bonzo. This enchanting illustration, a testament to the enduring appeal of Studdy's creation, is a delightful reminder of the past and the power of imagination.
