The White Puppy Book by Cecil Aldin (1910)
This playful yet poignant illustration by Cecil Aldin features the beloved white puppy Rags in an emotional moment of distress. Captured mid-run, Rags’ tousled fur and wide eyes convey an expressive sense of urgency and vulnerability, while the lolling tongue adds a touch of comic exaggeration. The dynamic pose, with its loose limbs and flowing movement, draws the viewer into the puppy’s animated world. Aldin’s characteristic thick black outlines and gentle shading bring texture and energy to the piece, while the muted sage-green background enhances the timeless, illustrative charm of this scene. This artwork is both a whimsical portrayal of a dog’s personality and an evocative glimpse into Aldin’s narrative storytelling.
