EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming photograph, dated 1895, captures the moment of amusement and confusion between two gentlemen as they attempt to discern which end of a rather shaggy dog, named Fido, is the head and which is the tail. The scene is filled with humor and a sense of logical quandary as Billie, on the left, poses the question to Phil, who responds with a logical yet playful approach. "Which is it head and which is tail, Billie?" asks Phil, to which Billie replies, "I don't know. Pinch him and see which end of him barks." The two men, dressed in typical late-19th-century attire, are seen standing in front of the dog, who seems to be oblivious to their investigation. The dog's thick, bushy coat adds to the confusion, making it difficult to distinguish one end from the other. The situation is reminiscent of a historical conundrum or poser, a common theme in the humor of the time. This image, with its lighthearted and investigative nature, offers a glimpse into the past and the simple joys of pet ownership. It is a reminder of the timeless bond between humans and their animals, and the endless source of amusement they can provide.
