Gentlemen Prefer Sitting Out: A Charming Moment of Leisure with Bonzo and His Mistress (ca. 1927) In this photograph, the mischievous and enigmatic Bonzo, the famous stud dog of English literature, is seen enjoying a moment of relaxation beside his mistress's legs. The image, dated around 1927, showcases Bonzo's dapper attire, complete with a monocle, as he peruses a theatre programme, seemingly deep in thought or planning his next escapade. Bonzo, a beloved character created by English author Edmund Wilson, first appeared in print in 1922 in the collection of satirical verse, "The Dogs of War." Over the years, Bonzo's adventures in literature and his exploits in the world of high society became a sensation, with readers delighting in his witty commentary on the absurdities of human behavior. In this photograph, Bonzo embodies the essence of a sophisticated gentleman, taking a break from the world to indulge in the simple pleasures of leisure. His mistress, dressed elegantly in a long, flowing skirt and blouse, provides the perfect backdrop for this charming scene. The theatre programme next to him hints at an evening of entertainment and excitement, a fitting complement to Bonzo's own adventures and misadventures. This image, studiously captured by an unidentified photographer, offers a glimpse into the world of Bonzo and his mistress, a world where the line between reality and fiction blurs, and where the antics of a stud dog can provide as much amusement and intrigue as the most scandalous human exploits.
