    About this ebook

    A BELOVED CLASSIC FOR DOG LOVERS OF ALL AGES

    With a new foreword by Ann Patchett

    In the 1930s, Lucy Dawson’s friendly, sympathetic portraits of dogs were so popular with readers of American and British magazines that she agreed to gather them together in a book, Dogs As I See Them.

    Now available once again after being out of print for decades, and a complete replication the original 1936 edition, Dogs As I See Them includes all of Dawson’s irresistible graphite and pastel drawings and handwritten notes. Along with her illustrations are her own amusing stories about the conduct of each of her subjects as they posed for her. Her charming reminiscences interpret the character and mood of each dog, and make us friends at once with each and every one in this gallery of endearing portraits. Dogs As I See Them is a remarkable collection dog lovers of all generations will take to their hearts.

    Lucy Dawson

    Lucy Dawson (1870-1954) was a British illustrator best known for her paintings and etchings of sporting dogs and other breeds. She also created art for playing cards, cigarette cards, and numerous postcard series. She accepted commissions by individuals, most notably the Royal Family. She painted the Queen Mother's favorite corgi, Dookie, whose portrait was later reproduced as a Christmas card. She published several dog-related titles, including Dogs As I See Them (1936), Dogs Rough and Smooth (1937), The Runaways (1938), and Lucy Dawson's Dog Book (1939).

      Dogs As I See Them - Lucy Dawson

      DOGS AS I SEE THEM

      Lucy Dawson’s friendly, sympathetic portraits of dogs so delighted readers of numerous English and American periodicals that they finally were gathered together to make a book.

      With her sketches are her own amusing notes about the conduct of the dogs while they posed. These charming little reminiscences interpret the character and mood of each and make us friends at once with every one in this gallery of engaging portraits.

      The artist herself says that it is because dogs feel and portray to the full the emotions of love, hate, fear, trust, and humor that she loves them, both as friends and as models for her pictures.

      In her own words: "An old dog dreaming before the fire, a dog in the perfection of its mature strength romping with a friend, either canine or human, a puppy sitting thinking of the puzzling wonderments of life—they make the dog lover in me thrill with happiness and the artist in me itch for my drawing
