EDITORS COMMENTS
"Bonzo's Seaside Adventure: A Delightful Snapshot from the Roaring Twenties Step into the vibrant world of the 1920s with this charming snapshot of Bonzo, the beloved small dog created by British artist George Ernest Studdy. In this image, Bonzo, with his iconic saucer-like eyes and indiscriminate breeding, is surrounded by a delightful scene of leggy bathing beauties at the seaside. The summer sun casts a warm glow over the sandy beach, as the women, clad in stylish swimsuits, engage in leisurely activities. Bonzo, ever the mischievous and curious canine, seems to be the center of attention in this snapshot. His playful antics and infectious energy captured the hearts of people around the world, leading to a Bonzo craze that swept through the 1920s. Postcards, annuals, toys, and other merchandise featuring Bonzo became popular collectibles. This photograph, taken on 15 August 1923, is a testament to the carefree spirit of the era. The image, created by Studdy for the Illustrated London News (ILN) and now part of the Mary Evans collection, showcases the joy and lightheartedness of a summer holiday by the sea. George Ernest Studdy's Bonzo remains an enduring symbol of the 1920s, a time of fun, freedom, and frivolity. This snapshot invites us to take a moment to appreciate the simple pleasures of a bygone era, and to remember the timeless appeal of a beloved canine companion."
