EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Fashionable Dogs, plate 35 from Le Bon Genre, 1808" transports us back to the early 19th century, showcasing a unique blend of artistry and whimsy. Created by an anonymous French artist, this coloured engraving captures a scene that is both intriguing and thought-provoking. In this image, we see dogs dressed in elaborate costumes engaging in a dance performance. The dogs prance gracefully on their hind legs while being guided by their trainer's whip. This display raises questions about the fine line between entertainment and exploitation. The intricate choreography of the dogs' movements suggests a level of training that may border on cruelty. However, it is important to note that during this time period, such performances were considered fashionable forms of amusement. The presence of plush toys scattered around the stage adds another layer to the narrative. These toys represent both playfulness and innocence amidst an act that may be seen as exploitative. Overall, this print invites us to reflect on societal norms and our treatment of animals for entertainment purposes. It serves as a reminder that even within the realm of fashion and games, there can be elements of exploitation lurking beneath the surface. Bridgeman Images has once again brought forth an artwork rich with historical significance through "Fashionable Dogs".
