Cecil Aldin in his studio
Cecil Aldin (1870-1935), sporting artist, illustrator and Master of the South Berkshire Foxhounds. Known particularly for his pictures of animals, especially dogs, he is pictured in his studio in front of a canvas (uncharacteristic of his style in many ways). The photograph was to illustrate an article about the expansion of his talents into toy designing. In 1903, he designed a range of wooden animal rockers which were manufactured by the Chiswick Art Workers Guild at Bedford Park. They were available to purchase for two guineas from Storys in Kensington, Liberty and the Woodbury Gallery in Bond Street. Date: 1903

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, renowned British sporting artist, illustrator, and Master of the South Berkshire Foxhounds, Cecil Aldin (1870-1935), is seen in his studio, engrossed in his work. Surrounded by brushes, paints, and canvases, Aldin is an embodiment of creativity and artistic dedication. However, this scene deviates from the usual depiction of his artistic style. Aldin, best known for his evocative paintings of animals, especially dogs, is captured here in an uncharacteristic setting. The reason for this departure from the norm lies in his burgeoning talents as a toy designer. In 1903, Aldin expanded his artistic repertoire by designing a range of wooden animal rockers. These whimsical creations were manufactured by the Chiswick Art Workers Guild at Bedford Park. The photograph was taken to illustrate an article about Aldin's new venture into toy designing. The wooden animal rockers, available for purchase for two guineas each, were distributed through esteemed retailers such as Storys in Kensington, Liberty, and the Woodbury Gallery in Bond Street. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into Aldin's studio, revealing the multifaceted nature of his artistic abilities. The image showcases Aldin in the midst of his creative process, with a canvas in the background, possibly a work in progress. The artist's intense focus and the presence of his tools underscore his dedication to his craft. This photograph serves as a testament to Aldin's versatility and his ability to transcend the boundaries of traditional artistic mediums. In summary, this photograph captures Cecil Aldin in his studio, working on a painting while also showcasing his innovative toy designs. The image offers a unique insight into the artist's multifaceted talents and his willingness to explore new artistic avenues.
