Before jumping too far into this, let me disclose the obvious...I recolour antique images for the fun of it. Not for any sort of accuracy. In fact, I go widdershins there...
That both of these images portray minority races and genders of the 19th century is fascinating...but it's the assured gaze (on two of the three) that amaze me! On the left, we have 2 Salish Natives & their Wooly Dog (please see my extensive post on this now-extinct hair-breed dog...it's in the archives); on the right we have "Hat Lady" & her bull terrier. Radiant & adorned, this foto has to be one of the most interesting I've ever seen... Comments are closed.

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
