EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "The Collectors. Priceless" we are transported back to January 1980, where we meet Gordon Wigg, a remarkable collector with an undeniable passion for dog collars. At the age of 71, Mr. Wigg proudly showcases his marvellous collection of 83 unique dog collars, each holding its own story and significance. As our eyes wander across the image, we cannot help but be drawn to one particular collar that stands out from the rest - a rare 14th century example adorned with vicious spikes. This extraordinary piece not only speaks volumes about Mr. Wigg's dedication as a collector but also offers us a glimpse into the rich history and evolution of canine accessories throughout time. It is evident that behind every collar lies countless hours of research, meticulous hunting in antique markets or hidden corners of forgotten shops; all contributing to Mr. Wigg's treasure trove of canine fashion artifacts. This photograph captures more than just an impressive collection; it invites us to reflect on the nature of collecting itself – what drives individuals like Mr. Wigg to amass such unique items? Is it simply their intrinsic value or perhaps something deeper? Regardless, there is no denying that this snapshot immortalizes both Gordon Wigg's passion and his contribution as an avid collector in preserving these pieces of history for generations to come.
