Address, Trip & Birthday Books

This lovely address book has been lavishly illustrated with images taken from the best-selling publication "Dog Painting: A History of the Dog in Art" by William Secord, an acknowledged expert on the subject of dog painting and former director of The Dog Museum of America. Dogs are illustrated in many different moods and environments, enlivening the pages with the colourful character of dozens of breeds, each with its own attraction and purpose, whether for sport or for show, for domestic use or simply as an adored pet. Each illustration carries details of the breed, artist and date, and the book is interspersed with pertinent and lively phrases and quotations to bring to life the world of dogs.
