EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, dated 1919, showcases the grandeur and elegance of Champion Ki-Pung of Alderbourne, a champion Pekingese dog. The image captures the dog in the midst of the autumn season, with leaves falling gently from the trees behind him, adding a warm and cozy atmosphere to the scene. The Pekingese breed, known for its distinctive lion-like appearance, flat face, and profuse coat, is proudly displayed as Ki-Pung sits regally on a plush rug, his eyes fixed on the camera with an air of confidence and curiosity. The photograph is a testament to the enduring popularity of the Pekingese breed, which originated in China over a thousand years ago and was first brought to Europe in the 19th century. Champion Ki-Pung of Alderbourne was likely a prized possession of his owners, given the breed's status as a favorite among the aristocracy and royalty during that time. The photograph's high-quality print preserves the intricate details of Ki-Pung's coat, which is parted down the middle and adorned with ribbons and bows, a common practice during dog shows. The image also showcases the elegant setting of the photograph, with the rich colors of autumn leaves and the ornate rug adding to the overall charm and sophistication of the scene. This photograph is not only a beautiful representation of a beloved pet but also a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the history and culture of the Pekingese breed and the time period in which it thrived. The photograph's timeless quality makes it a must-have for any dog lover, collector, or history enthusiast.
