EDITORS COMMENTS
In this enchanting illustration by Cecil Aldin, titled "Us," we are transported back to the 1920s as we witness a special moment in the life of a young girl named Pat. It's her sixth birthday, and she is about to receive a most unexpected and delightful present. With a look of pure excitement and anticipation on her face, Pat kneels on the floor, her yellow socks peeking out from under her dress, as her sister Leslie presents her with a small, black bundle. The girl's eyes widen in amazement as she lifts the wrapping paper to reveal a bouncing, playful Scots Terrier, whom she affectionately names Smut. The terrier, with its expressive eyes and eager demeanor, jumps up onto the scene, its collar adorned with a bright red bow. Pat reaches out to pet the new addition to her family, her hand resting gently on the dog's soft, black fur. A wicker basket filled with toys and treats sits nearby, ready to welcome the new pet. The scene is filled with warmth and joy, capturing the essence of childhood and the unbreakable bond between a girl and her dog. Cecil Aldin, a renowned English illustrator, masterfully brings this heartwarming moment to life in this beautiful, black-and-white illustration, which was created in 1922. The intricate details of the girls' dresses, the design of the ribbons, and the texture of the terrier's coat are all rendered with exquisite care, making this a true work of art from the historical 1920s.
