Dog Shows and Doggy People 



about one holding an envied position amongst Doggy People, with 

 whom she is deservedly popular. Besides the portrait of Her 

 Highness, I am able to give pictures of some of the celebrated 

 Collies in Her Highness's kennel.

THE subject of my sketch is a " bit of a sketcher himself," being 

 the well-known artist in black-and-white whose beautiful drawings 

 have delighted so many thousands of the readers of the Sporting 



and Dramatic News, the 

 Animal IVorld, Stock- 

 keeper, Black and White, 

 Fanciers' Gazette, Good 

 Words, and many more 

 publications, and to 

 whom my readers and 

 I are indebted for the 

 typical and artistic illus- 

 trations in my little work 

 "All about Dogs." I 

 find he is a native of 

 Northleigh, in Oxford- 

 shire, and on leaving 

 school commenced with 

 wood engraving, which 

 he afterwards gave up on 

 account of the close con- 

 finement it enforced, and 

 took up drawing as a 

 profession, studying the 

 human figure and portrait 

 drawing, but for many 

 years has devoted himself 

 almost entirely to animal 



portraits, with what success is well known to most of my readers. 

 Occasionally he paints in water-colours and oils, but *his constant 

 commissions in black-and-white have taken up most of his time, 

 although he has done some excellent modelling in clay, and is 

 very fond of that work.
