A Man and His Dog, 1914

A Man and His Dog, 1914
A photo of a dog or cat on a chair for the Vintage Photos Theme Park.

A real photo postcard of a man and his dog. I haven't been able to decipher the inscription on the front (except for the year), and there's no name, address, or postmark on the verso.

Printed on the other side: "R. Guilleminot, Bœspflug et Cie. Paris."

Perhaps something like "loved/beloved friend Bernard- something?
Kuzinss auf/ Huziss auf.?...(no idea).

It's a wonderful photograph! Such clarity - and the man's expression is unusual and sort of weirdly enchanting.

Thanks, Deborah! And thanks for the translation--that's further than I got with it!

An interesting and engaging photo, Alan, the photographer choosing to capture the man's attention to the dog as opposed to using the dog solely as a prop.

Thanks, Rick! It is an interesting composition. I'm not sure how they got the dog to pose--it seems like it's looking intently at something. And the folded newspaper in the man's lap makes it appear like it was a quick, impromptu photo.

What a good dog! So attentive--his ears and stance make him look so eager to please.
