EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures Baroness Burton, a prominent figure in British society during the 1930s, surrounded by her beloved Clumber Spaniels, Dochfour George and Dochfour May. The Baroness, whose real name was Constance Edith, Lady Burton, was a close friend of King George V and Queen Mary. The royal connection to her dogs is evident, as they were bred at the Sandringham Estate, the private residence of the monarch. The setting of the image is the Sandringham Scurry, an annual event held at the estate for the enjoyment of the royal family and their guests. The Baroness, dressed in a stylish hat and coat, stands in the midst of the rolling hills and open fields of Sandringham, with her dogs at her feet. Dochfour George, a handsome Clumber Spaniel with a distinctive white coat and liver-colored markings, gazes up at his mistress with unwavering loyalty. Dochfour May, a female Clumber Spaniel, sits obediently by her side. Clumber Spaniels were a popular breed during the early 20th century, and the Baroness's dogs were among the best in the country. The breed, known for its gentle disposition and excellent hunting abilities, was favored by the aristocracy for both companionship and sport. The photograph not only showcases the elegance and grace of the Baroness but also highlights the deep bond between her and her dogs. This photograph, taken in 1938, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the British aristocracy enjoyed the simple pleasures of country life and the companionship of their beloved dogs.
