500 witty and moving photographs of dogs taken over fifty years by award-winning Magnum photographer Elliott Erwitt.
This dog lover’s dream features 500 irresistible photographs that show why dogs are humankind’s best friends—from poodles at dog shows, golden retrievers retrieving sticks and Scottish terriers leaping for joy to Pomeranians and German shepherds.
This is not a book of dog pictures, but a book about dogs in pictures. ~ Elliott Erwitt
Dogs playing or lazing around, dogs being carried or otherwise enjoying life, dogs on beaches, rugs, sofas and park furniture.
The book has two front covers: the photographs at the front are shown in portrait orientation, while those at the back are shown in landscape orientation. Each has a short caption giving the place and date.
The book includes a brief introduction by Elliott Erwitt, one of the greatest photographers of his generation, and an entertaining text by British writer P.G. Wodehouse, who aptly writes: “What splendid pictures these are. They do a person good to look at. There is not one model in his portrait gallery that does not melt your heart.”
