EDITORS COMMENTS
This delightful photograph captures the mischievous antics of Bonzo the Dog, a beloved canine star of the silent film era, as he performs one of his famous 'Seven Good Deeds' on a fattened Christmas turkey. Dated back to 1923, this image shows Bonzo in his element, playfully encouraging the turkey to run and chase after him in the snowy winter weather. With a twinkle in his eye and a wagging tail, Bonzo seems to be enjoying every moment of this little exercise session, while the turkey, looking rather bewildered, tries to keep up with the agile and energetic dog. Bonzo, a British bulldog, was a popular comedic figure during the 1920s and 1930s, known for his naughty yet endearing demeanor. His 'Seven Good Deeds' series, which included this image, showcased the dog's good-natured pranks and antics, often involving various animals and objects. This photograph is a testament to the enduring appeal of Bonzo and the joy he brought to audiences during a time when humor and lightheartedness were much needed. As the snow falls gently around them, Bonzo and the turkey create a charming scene, full of humor and nostalgia. The contrast between the plump, sweating turkey and the lean, agile dog adds to the playful nature of the image, making it a delightful addition to any collection of early 20th-century pet photography.
