Aldin Cecil Character Corgi Corgis 1927
EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting illustration, titled "Corgi Dog," is a timeless masterpiece created by renowned British artist Cecil Aldin in 1927. The image captures the playful and endearing nature of a Corgi dog as it stands proudly and inquisitively, gazing at an open book spread on the floor. The 1920s setting is subtly suggested through the vintage attire and accessories in the background, including a hat, umbrella, and a stack of books. Cecil Aldin (1874-1935) was a prolific illustrator, best known for his charming depictions of dogs and country life. His work graced the pages of numerous books, magazines, and calendars during the early 20th century. The Corgi dog, with its short legs and fox-like appearance, has been a popular breed since the late 19th century. In this illustration, Aldin beautifully captures the breed's distinctive features and lively personality. The Corgi's curiosity towards the books adds an intriguing layer to the image, hinting at the potential for a lifelong love of learning. The illustration is a delightful snapshot of a bygone era, showcasing the charm and whimsy of the 1920s. This work of art continues to captivate audiences and remains a cherished piece of both dog and illustration history.
