Foreword by Susan Orlean A charming facsimile edition of celebrated
British illustrator Lucy Dawson's 1937 classic collection of highly
detailed and loveable drawings of dogs, complete with a cloth spine
and ribbon marker-the companion volume to the acclaimed Dogs As I
See Them. Lucy Dawson, also known as "Mac," was a preeminent
British illustrator in the 1930s and 1940s revered for her
paintings and etchings of dogs, from sporting and non-sporting
breeds to hounds and herders. Though she worked in numerous
mediums-pencil, pen, ink, and oil-her pastels set her work apart.
Noted for her commercial dog postcards and her delightful
"Tailwagger" series, she also created a "Puppies" series of 40
cigarette cards during World War II-produced in a limited quantity
due to wartime restrictions on paper-which have become a rare
collector's item today. One of her most famous works is her
portrait of "Dookie," the British Royal Family's favorite Corgie,
which was later reproduced as a Royal Family Christmas card. Dawson
also published several books, including the beloved Dogs As I See
Them, and its follow-up, Dogs Rough and Smooth. Now, Dogs Rough and
Smooth is available in a lovely facsimile edition for a new
generation discovering her superb craftsmanship. Printed on an
uncoated stock that simulates the look and feel of a sketchbook,
this delightful volume is filled with her beautiful, endearing
drawings of a range of breeds. The illustrations are accompanied by
notes in Dawson's own handwriting as well as a short anecdotal text
that provides amusing insight into the personalities of her canine
models and the experience of drawing each. A stunning reproduction
of this classic work filled with full-color and black-and-white
complete drawings and sketches, Dogs Rough and Smooth features a
foreword by acclaimed writer Susan Orlean, and is packaged in a
three-piece case with a beautiful cloth spine and long ribbon
bookmark. Dogs Rough and Smooth is sure to be a collector's item
treasured by dog lovers of all ages and art connoisseurs for years
to come.
