Bonzo persuades a friend to throw a stone by George Studdy
Bonzo persuades a friend to throw a stone. The stone lands on a man lying on the beach, reading a newspaper, which means that Bonzo and the Bonzolines run right across him. George Ernest Studdy (1878-1948), was the creator of Bonzo, a small dog with saucer-like eyes and indiscriminate breeding who first appeared in the Sketch in 1922. The Bonzo craze swept the world resulting in postcards, annuals, toys and other merchandise. Credit should read: Estate of George Studdy/Gresham Marketing Ltd./ILN/Mary Evans

EDITORS COMMENTS
Bonzo, the mischievous and indiscriminate breed mongrel created by George Studdy, is seen in this charming 1923 photograph persuading a friend to throw a stone. The stone, however, lands unexpectedly on a man lying on the beach, engrossed in his evening newspaper. Dressed in a red waistcoat and glasses, the unsuspecting man seems oblivious to the impending canine commotion. Bonzo and his Bonzoline offspring, who run right across the man, are known for their saucer-like eyes and naughty antics. The Bonzo craze, which swept the world in the 1920s, resulted in an abundance of merchandise, including postcards, annuals, toys, and other memorabilia. This image, published in The Illustrated London News, captures the playful spirit of Bonzo and the excitement of a summer day at the seaside. With his owner's enthusiastic encouragement, Bonzo and the Bonzolines are off to chase and chasing once again.
