Barker, K.F. Just Dogs. Fourth Printing. 1934. Book is in very good minus condition; dust jacket is in good condition—jacket shows chipping and light foxing. Text and illustration by K.F. Barker.
If you are looking for fashion, go to Paris. For animal illustration, head across the English Channel. While Louis XIV had the French nobility locked up in the gilded cage known as Versailles, members of the English aristocracy were living at grand country estates, establishing a deep understanding and respect for animals. This large and well-illustrated book, published only in the U.K., is a sublime example. Barker (her given name, not a pseudonym—really) sees her subjects as individuals, and draws and writes about them as such. A gorgeous book.
