EDITORS COMMENTS
George Ernest Studdy's charming and whimsical artwork, "Bonzos Love Offering," captures the essence of courtship and the playful, excessive nature of romantic gestures in the 1930s. The scene depicts a dapper gentleman, George, presenting a lavish array of gifts to his beloved Pekingese dog, Chee-Kee. The canine companion, adorned with a collar and bow, sits regally on a plush rug, surrounded by an extravagant assortment of offerings. Among the gifts, a bunch of flowers, a lobster, fish, meat, and shellfish, and a pheasant, are arranged on a mirror-reflecting table. A sausage dangles from George's hand, adding a touch of humor to the scene. The title of the artwork, "Bonzos Love Offering," was given by Studdy when he gifted it as a wedding present to a friend. Originally published as a Valentine postcard, the image carries the inscription, "I love you for yourself, dear, and not for your gifts." Studdy's use of anthropomorphism and comic elements in his work adds to the humanized portrayal of Chee-Kee, making the viewer connect with the dog on an emotional level. The artwork, created in 1936, is a testament to the romantic and humorous spirit of the 1930s, and continues to delight viewers with its timeless charm.
