EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1893, where a formal dinner party for dogs was held in all its grandeur. The engraving, created by an American School artist from the 19th century, showcases a remarkable scene that is both amusing and intriguing. In this Victorian masterpiece, we witness a large dining room filled with impeccably dressed canines and their feline servants. The hand-colored engraving beautifully captures the essence of this extraordinary event. It's hard not to chuckle at the sight of these anthropomorphic dogs donning elegant gowns and tuxedos while being served by their cat attendants. The atmosphere exudes an air of upper-class opulence as these well-to-do pooches gather around a sumptuous dining table. This ironic twist on social class norms provides a humorous commentary on human society during that era. The vintage charm of this print transports us into a world where domestic staff catered to every need of their wealthy masters – even if they happened to be four-legged companions. Amongst them are poodles, hounds, schnauzers, and other breeds mingling together in perfect harmony. This illustration from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate the creativity and wit behind such imaginative artwork. It serves as a delightful reminder that art has no boundaries when it comes to capturing moments that blend reality with whimsy.
