Hard lines on the hard court by George Studdy

Hard lines on the hard court -- the Bonzolines dig in their search for the ball, which Bonzo is holding in his mouth. George Ernest Studdy (1878-1948), was the creator of Bonzo, a small dog with saucer-like eyes and indiscriminate breeding who first appeared in the Sketch in 1922. The Bonzo craze swept the world resulting in postcards, annuals, toys and other merchandise. Credit should read: Estate of George Studdy/Gresham Marketing Ltd./ILN/Mary Evans Date: 16 May 1923

Hard Lines on the Hard Court

EDITORS COMMENTS
is a charming and humorous illustration by the renowned British artist George Ernest Studdy, showcasing his beloved creation, Bonzo, the saucer-eyed pup with an insatiable curiosity and indiscriminate breeding. The scene unfolds on a tennis court, where Bonzo and his canine companions, the Bonzolines, are seen in a determined search for a ball that Bonzo holds triumphantly in his mouth. The hard lines and textures of the court contrast sharply with the playful and carefree nature of the dogs, adding to the visual appeal of the image. Studdy's creation of Bonzo first graced the pages of The Sketch in 1922, and the Bonzo craze that ensued was nothing short of phenomenal. The small pup with his distinctive saucer-like eyes captured the hearts of people around the world, leading to an avalanche of merchandise, including postcards, annuals, toys, and other collectibles. This particular illustration, dated 16 May 1923, is a testament to the enduring appeal of Bonzo and his canine companions. The image is filled with delightful details, from the determined digs of the Bonzolines to Bonzo's triumphant grin as he holds the ball in his mouth. The 1920s setting is further emphasized by the traditional tennis attire and the ruined net in the background, adding a sense of nostalgia to the image. George Ernest Studdy's "Hard Lines on the Hard Court" is a timeless piece of art that continues to evoke laughter and joy, reminding us of the simple pleasures of life and the unbreakable bond between humans and their beloved pets. This image is a must-have for any collection of vintage illustrations, sports art, or Bonzo memorabilia.
