EDITORS COMMENTS
In this enchanting photograph, Sir Hugh Seymour Walpole, the renowned English novelist, is captured in a moment of relaxation in the garden of his beloved home in Keswick, Cumbria, during the 1930s. Walpole, who was born in 1884, was a prolific and popular writer of historical novels, many of which were set in the Tudor period. He was knighted in 1931 for his services to literature. The author is shown seated on a garden bench, dressed in a tweed jacket and corduroy trousers, a fitting attire for the English countryside. His wire-haired fox terrier, Bingo, sits obediently at his feet, his ears perked up and eyes fixed on his master. The garden is filled with vibrant flowers and lush greenery, adding to the idyllic scene. Walpole was known to be an avid dog lover and Bingo was one of his cherished companions. The author often included dogs in his novels, reflecting his deep affection for these loyal animals. In fact, one of his most famous works, "Roger Arlington," features a character named Bingo, a wire-haired fox terrier. This photograph offers a glimpse into the personal life of a man who was celebrated for his literary achievements. It also highlights the strong bond between a man and his dog, a bond that transcends time and continues to resonate with us today. The image is a testament to the simple pleasures of life, the joy of a good book, and the companionship of a faithful dog. Sir Hugh Seymour Walpole's home in Keswick, Cumbria, remains a popular tourist destination for literature enthusiasts and dog lovers alike. The garden, much like the one in this photograph, continues to bloom, inviting visitors to imagine the author at work, with Bingo by his side.
