An original work of art, by renowned sporting and animal artist Cecil Aldin. Aldin was celebrated for his ability to convey the character of dogs, which is evident in this drawing. The page contains a series of vignettes observed at the Kennel Association, each with subtitle. The top view is whippets running to the owner waiving a white cloth, and it is titled "The Ladies' Whippet Handicap." In the lower portion the dog in the circle is titled "A Curiosity." The bulldog asleep in his pen is "The 'Ladies Idol.'" The big dog in the middle is Mrs. W.B. Stamp's Russian Wolf Hound 'Sgawla Day'" The little dog in the lower right is "Miss Jay's Fox-Terrier 'Kaiser Fritz.'"

Aldin was a prolific, popular and successful British artist, whose work was characterized by lively compositions and an affection for his animal subjects. He was constantly sketching from life, and produced numerous large chromolithographs of hunts, coaching and races, illustrations for books, magazines and newspapers, and he also authored children's books.
