Aldin, Cecil. Dogs of Character. Third Printing. 1930. Book is in very good condition; dust jacket is in good plus condition—jacket shows light soiling and minor foxing. 

Does one need to be simpatico with an animal to draw it well? The sketches of early 20th Century sporting artist Cecil Aldin suggest yes. His renderings of dogs are sublime, capturing not just the essence of a breed but the nuances and characteristics of each particular dog. Moreover, his writings about them are just as perceptive. This attractive book, with a quality rarely seen since the 1930s, contains color and duotone portraits of dogs, as well as advice on how to select and train them.  Many breeds are depicted, including bull terriers, Irish wolfhounds, beagles, and even a few mongrels.
