Lucy Dawson book 'Dogs Rough & Smooth' 1937
A splendid First Edition of Lucy Dawson's - Dogs As I See Them.
Packed with illustrations, including 16 in colour. Published by Collins, Pall Mall,London in 1937. Complete with its original dust jacket, which has one unsightly hole and a little wear (as seen in photo). Measures a generous 9 by 12 inches with over 140 pages of heavy (semi card) paper.
Dog-lovers and collectors will adore this book which is full of sensitively executed pencil and pastel drawings of all breeds.
In good clean condition with tight binding , no foxing, torn or missing pages.....apart from the aforementioned dust jacket blemishes and just one slightly loosening page (see photo featuring 'Taffy' the wire haired terrier).
Lucy Dawson 1867-1954 (who also worked under the name of 'Mac') was famous for portrait work and etching, but she was also of the most talented and, until recently, under-rated dog artists of the early twentieth century.Lucy Dawson worked in pencil, pen, ink and oil, but was mainly known for her work in pastels. Her charming sketches of every breed of dog are reminiscent of the work of Cecil Aldin. She lived in Bristol until about 1930, and then moved to London after the death of her husband. In the late 1930s, she moved again to Hertfordshire, where she stayed until she died just before her eightieth birthday.Lucy Dawson wrote and illustrated a number of books, including Dogs as I See Them (1936), Dogs, Rough And Smooth (1937), Lucy Dawson's Dog Book (1939) and Neighbours (1939). She also had reproductions of her drawings featured in both English and American magazines.Lucy Dawson was commissioned by the British Royal Family to go to Windsor Castle and paint their favourite corgi, named Dookie.
