EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming postcard print, titled "Our Puppies: Pekingese," showcases a delightful scene of a mother Pekingese dog with her adorable puppies, captured by the skilled hand of artist Florence Jay in the early 20th century. Published by Humphrey Milford for their "Postcards for the Little Ones" series around 1930, this image has stood the test of time as a beloved representation of the affectionate and playful nature of the Pekingese breed. The Pekingese, also known as the "Lion Dog," originated in China and was a favorite companion of the imperial court. Known for their distinctive lion-like appearance, small size, and distinctive curled tail, these dogs were often depicted in Chinese art and were considered sacred animals. In this postcard print, the mother Pekingese sits proudly on a red cushion, her regal expression reflecting the breed's ancient heritage. Her tiny puppies, each with their own unique markings and playful expressions, surround her, nuzzling and vying for her attention. The warm colors and soft details of the image evoke a sense of coziness and nostalgia, making it a cherished keepsake for dog lovers and collectors of antique postcards. The "Our Puppies" series by Humphrey Milford and Florence Jay was a popular collection of postcard prints featuring various breeds of dogs and their puppies. This Pekingese print is a testament to the enduring appeal of these charming and collectible postcards, which continue to delight and bring joy to collectors and enthusiasts today.
