EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, celebrated British artist Cecil Aldin is seen sketching the beloved pet dog of actress Miss Louise Browne, a Sealyham terrier named Bundle, during a visit to the Vaudeville Theatre in London in October 1933. At the time, Miss Browne was starring in the play "After Dark," and Aldin, who was known for his exceptional dog illustrations, was instantly captivated by the actress's charming canine companion. Aldin, who owned a large menagerie of canines himself, including another Sealyham terrier named Woggles, requested permission to sketch Bundle during a break in the actress's performance. The historical image shows Aldin intently focusing on his drawing, while Miss Browne playfully looks on with a smile. Cecil Aldin's reputation as a master dog illustrator had already been established by this point, and his works were highly sought after for their ability to capture the unique personalities and quirks of various breeds. The importance of this photograph lies not only in the depiction of a moment of artistic inspiration but also in the connection between two passionate dog lovers. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when the arts and the love for animals intertwined, creating a rich and enduring legacy. Cecil Aldin's sketches of Bundle and other dogs continue to be cherished by collectors and enthusiasts, serving as a testament to the artist's remarkable talent and the enduring bond between humans and their canine companions.
