A visual feast of superb paintings, this hugely successful book traces the development of pure-bred dogs and examines why they have become so popular; full of charming anecdotes about dog-lovers.
In this splendid work, William Secord traces the evolution of some fifty breeds, using carefully selected illustrations by oustanding 19th and 20th century artists, ranging from depictions of sporting dogs in the field to Vitorian portraits of pampered pets.Filled with anecdotes about animal loving patrons such as Queen Vitoria, this is a book to cherish and enjoy.
