EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming and humorous photograph, titled "Ford's Ideal Kennel," dates back to 1874 and offers a delightful glimpse into the past. Taken at a time when keeping dogs as pets was becoming increasingly popular, this image showcases the whimsical side of canine caretaking. The scene is set at "Ford's Ideal Kennel," named after its proprietor, Walter Ford. The kennel, which appears more like a playful pyramid of interconnected doghouses, is surrounded by a tranquil pond, adding to the picturesque setting. Each doghouse is thoughtfully designed to accommodate different breeds and sizes, with some even featuring porches and chimneys. The image is filled with humor and character as various breeds of dogs, including Bulldogs, Pugs, and Terriers, are shown lounging on their porches or playing in the water from a hand-pumped well. The dogs seem content and at ease, enjoying the sunshine and the company of their fellow canine companions. The photograph's composition, with the pyramid-shaped kennels forming a symmetrical pattern, adds to its visual appeal. The use of natural light and the clear reflection of the kennels in the water create a sense of depth and dimension. This photograph is not only a fascinating look into the history of dog ownership but also a reminder of the joy and companionship that dogs bring to our lives. The image's timeless charm continues to resonate with animal lovers and history enthusiasts alike, making it a cherished addition to any collection.
