1. Title: "The Musical Canine Companions of the Salvation Army: A Victorian Scrap" 2. Subtitle: "An Uncommon Depiction of Human-Animal Bond and Anthropomorphism in Late 19th Century Photography" 3. Description: This Victorian scrap, sourced from the extensive archive of Mary Evans Picture Library, presents an intriguing and heartwarming image of a Salvation Army dog trumpeter. Dating back to the late 19th century, this photograph offers a unique blend of humanized animals, musical instruments, and the distinctive uniforms of the Salvation Army. The photograph features a well-dressed dog, donning a Salvation Army uniform complete with brass buttons, a red cap, and a collar adorned with the organization's insignia. The dog holds a trumpet, or bugle, to its mouth, its eyes focused intently on the brass instrument. The dog's human-like attire and its earnest expression as it plays the trumpet are striking examples of anthropomorphism – the attribution of human characteristics and behaviors to non-human entities. The photograph's background reveals a group of Salvation Army soldiers, clad in their iconic uniforms, engaged in various activities. The soldiers' stern expressions and focused gazes contrast sharply with the playful, joyful demeanor of the dog trumpeter. The juxtaposition of the human soldiers and the canine musician adds depth to the image, emphasizing the unity and camaraderie within the Salvation Army. Further details in the photograph include the dog's glasses or spectacles, which further humanize the animal and add an element of whimsy to the image. The dog's trumpet, with its intricate brass design, adds to the overall visual appeal of the photograph. This Victorian scrap offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the human-animal bond, the use of anthropomorphism, and the musical traditions of the Salvation Army during the late 19th century.
