Aldin Bars Battersea Behind Cage Cecil Character Charity Terrier Terriers Waiting 1927
EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting illustration by renowned British artist Cecil Aldin, titled "Battersea Dogs Home," captures the essence of the 1920s with its charming depiction of dogs patiently waiting behind bars at the famous London charity. The scene unfolds at the Battersea Dogs Home, an institution dedicated to rescuing and rehoming unwanted and abandoned dogs since its founding in 1860. In this illustration from 1927, a line of terriers, each with their unique expressions and personalities, gaze out from their cages, longing for a forever home. The book-filled background, with its old-world charm, adds to the sense of anticipation and hope. Cecil Aldin, a master of character and detail, beautifully conveys the emotions of these dogs and the importance of the work done by Battersea Dogs Home. This illustration is a testament to the enduring bond between humans and their canine companions and serves as a reminder of the historical significance of this beloved charity.
