Bonzo Gets a Mouthful!": A Timeless Moment of Summer Playfulness by George Studdy In this delightful photograph, Bonzo, the beloved small dog with saucer-like eyes and indiscriminate breeding, is captured in a playful moment at the seaside. Created by British artist George Ernest Studdy in 1923, Bonzo first graced the pages of The Sketch magazine in 1922, sparking a global craze that led to an array of merchandise including postcards, annuals, toys, and more. Bonzo's mischievous antics resonated with people during the 1920s, a time when summer holidays were becoming increasingly popular. In this scene, Bonzo is seen bravely facing the sea, a large wave crashing over him, leaving him with a mouthful of seawater. With his cane clutched in his mouth, Bonzo's determined expression conveys the spirit of adventure and fun that defined the era. The image, dated 18 July 1923, is a testament to the enduring appeal of Bonzo and the joy of summer holidays. The playful scene evokes memories of sunny days spent at the beach, the thrill of the sea, and the simple pleasures of a day out with a cherished pet. George Ernest Studdy's Bonzo remains a beloved figure in British popular culture, and this photograph continues to capture the imagination of audiences around the world. The Estate of George Studdy, represented by Gresham Marketing Ltd., and Mary Evans Picture Library are proud to preserve and share this historical treasure.
