EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait of a pug, titled 'Portrait of a Pug Wearing a Collar with Bells,' dates back to the late 19th century, circa 1880. The photograph, held in the esteemed Mary Evans Picture Library collection, offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of this beloved breed and the role of pets in Victorian society. The pug in the image is depicted with a regal air, gazing directly at the viewer with unwavering intensity. The breed's distinctive features are on full display – the wrinkled skin, the curled tail, the prominent eyes, and the stout, compact body. But what sets this portrait apart is the ornate collar adorned with jingling bells that encircles the pug's neck. Collars with bells were a popular accessory for pets during the Victorian era, serving both functional and decorative purposes. The bells allowed their owners to keep track of their pets, especially in large estates or during hunting parties. The collars were often intricately designed, showcasing the wealth and status of their owners. The historical significance of this portrait lies not only in its representation of a beloved pet breed but also in the insight it provides into the social customs and trends of the time. The Victorian era was a period of great affluence and extravagance, and pets were considered cherished companions and symbols of wealth and status. This portrait of a pug wearing a collar with bells is a testament to the deep bond between humans and their pets and the importance of pets in Victorian society. In conclusion, this portrait of a pug wearing a collar with bells, taken circa 1880, offers a unique window into the history of the pug breed and the role of pets in Victorian society. The image, held in the Mary Evans Picture Library collection, is a must-see for anyone interested in pet history, Victorian culture, or the history of the pug breed.
