EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the lively atmosphere of the Margate Dog Show, an event that took place in 1884. The engraving, created by Louis Wain, showcases a scene filled with comedy and excitement. As we delve into this image, we witness the honorable secretary overseeing the proceedings while participants eagerly await their turn to showcase their beloved dogs. The chairman presides over the show with great enthusiasm as prizes are awarded to those who have impressed the judges. Laughter fills the air as a dizzying array of characters grace the scene - from nobleman and squire to burlesque performers and even Emperor Sultan III himself. However, amidst all this merriment lies a moment of concern. The son of Lawminster appears hurt, his wounded limb drawing attention from medical professionals attending to his injury. In true Victorian fashion, medicine and healthcare take center stage as Asklepios (Asclepius), symbolizing healing and physical health, watches over them. This intriguing snapshot not only offers us a glimpse into historic dog shows but also serves as a reminder of our fascination with animals throughout time. It is through art like this that we can appreciate both its aesthetic beauty and its ability to transport us back in time to experience moments long gone by.
