EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the lively atmosphere of the Cheltenham Dog Show in 1937, an annual event that drew large crowds to the picturesque town of Cheltenham in the English countryside. The image, taken from the direction of the Pittville Pump Room, one of the last and grandest spa buildings constructed in Cheltenham during the 19th century, offers a stunning view of the bustling scene below. The enclosures are filled with an array of well-groomed dogs, each vying for the attention of their proud owners and the judges. The excitement is palpable as spectators gather around, some with binoculars, eager to catch a glimpse of their favorite breeds. The air is filled with the distinctive sounds of barking, laughter, and the occasional announcement over the loudspeaker. In the foreground, a group of children can be seen enjoying Spratts dog cakes, a popular treat for canine companions during the show. The children's joy and delight are mirrored in the expressions of the dogs, who seem equally thrilled by the day's events. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the Cheltenham Dog Show was a much-anticipated event in the social calendar. The 1930s, or the '30s as they were known, were a period of great change and innovation, and this image encapsulates the spirit of the era – a time of fun, community, and celebration.
