I'm always looking for cool, historic etchings of our best friends...this George du Maurier (1834-1896) is certainly grand. Yes, George is Daphne's father! This pen & ink was created for Miss Daisy Whiteside, the corner reads: ‘20 Avenue des Tilleuls, Villa Montmorency, Auteuil, Paris, Sept 1877’; while the artist's inscription reads: ‘Chang – alias (illegible) – alias Bawbar for Daisy Whiteside from her friend G Du Maurier'. Still in the original frame & mount! Chang was Du Maurier’s, Saint Bernard, named after an eight foot sculpture of Orientalia exhibited in the British Museum in the 1860s. The little girl to whom the drawing was dedicated was Daisy Whiteside. She & the Du Maurier sisters were fotografed several times by the curious & curiouser Lewis Carroll at Oak Tree House, Hampstead on July 10, 1875 (see the book: "The Photographs of Lewis Carroll, A Catalogue Raisonne"-compiled by Edward Wakeling). Hopefully, they all fled the illicit clutches of Lewis Carroll...but...back to the engraving... Click here to fly on over to Rubylane & immediately purchase this gorgeous thing...

AuthorHowl-O! I'm Julia Jensen- devoted student of dogs & religious sampler of cheesecake, wheat beer, huehuetenango coffee & almost any chocolate out there. I indulge these fancies & more, in the remote silence of the pacific NW. *PLEASE NOTE* The videos selected for bloghism could be construed as "disturbing" to those of certain bents, sensitivities, natures, mind-sets, etc.. I have a distinct interest in relaying footage of dogs doing what they have been doing for centuries....& in some cases, I also include dog show footage just as a matter of interest. If you do not like my selections, by all means, do not view them. Archives
