Pair of Antique Cabinet Cards of "Van Dyck" Show Spaniels bird sculpture and then grey knit tights

and then grey knit tights underneath covering the legs and feet

I find it quite a beautiful and affecting thing

but I’m really not sure if that’s what he was made of or if he’s just weathered many a storm

It shows lots of age

and then two banded patterns around the neck

Pair of Antique Cabinet Cards of "Van Dyck" Show Spaniels bird sculpture and then grey knit tightsPortraits of show dogs, racing pigeons, etc I love them all. In part I think because the objective was not to capture these proud animals at moments of cuteness, but rather to document them in a straightforward and informative a way as possible, rather like mug shots. Plus I love the handwritten names, in this case I assume Van Dyck being the last name of the owner and the dogs' names being "Stubbs" and "Effusion." A pretty handsome pair I'd say! As
